I remember using Photoshop in the early 90s. I think my college had version 2. I remember being mesmerised by it and spent hours upon hours working on one piece of digital artwork. Being able to edit it on a screen and print it out was magic, but boy did it seem complicated at the time.

It’s still complicated and it has increased in complexity in terms of the tools that have been added, but they are better designed now so easier to use, along with my knowledge of the program over the years which has aided my control of the program.

I still feel like I only know a tiny percentage of what can be done with Photoshop though!

Great to hear Niki, it’s all a learning process and I’m sure you’ll be lassoing like a pro in no time! Feel free to tag your photos on Instagram with #thewanderinglens so I can see how you go 🙂 Actually, if you’re interested, I’ve got a private Facebook group where photographers both beginning and pros share their work and discuss all things photo + travel.

Hello! I am just starting to venture out into manual mode on my camera and considering using photoshop in my editing in addition to lightroom.. baby steps! I would never have thought to use magnetic lasso to duplicate and add more flowers in that photo. I also probably never would have noticed the added flowers are the exact same if you didn’t point it out!

Thanks for the ideas and tips! Super excited to try it later this fall when the sunflowers are in bloom!

In reply to Keira Nitschke. Sometimes the bandaid tool won't have the perfect effect and may leave some warped blending in it's path which might be what you're talking about. Have you made sure that the 'Content-Aware' button is click in the top menu bar? If so, it may simply be a matter of doing the bandaid more than once or then using the clone stamp to fix up any errors that are occurring to blend it in properly.

If I’m getting a weird reaction around the subject when using the bandaid how should I fix it?
