Rubberstamping

page one
Aren’t you sick of black and white pictures of dead wood? I dug this up from my high school days. Yes, it’s 35mm and yes it’s not very sharp but it has those little pieces of grass stuck right in the middle of the composition. They need to go.		 next

Because of all the vertical cracks in the wood, this is a tiny bit harder than the usual rubber stamping job. There are two ways to approach this; you can magnify the image a ton and fix it one pixel at a time or you can use a big brush and center it on the crack. Watch.

Please note that these v. 5.5 tutorials are not my best. I knew a lot less then than I do now. I leave them up because a lot of people are still using v. 5.5.
