Copy and Pastye

[Johan Crous]

I had to edit an aerial photograph of a parking area, full of cars. I needed an empty car park. The paving area is textured.

I pasted a polygon with the place command. I was in a hurry to do the presentation.

What is the easiest wat to copy from the clean part of the image and paste the picked part to another are on the same image?

I am not very fond of the way to export and place as new image.

Duplicate the original image layer and rasterize the new copy to give you a pixel layer so that you can copy and paste selected pixels. Make a polygonal selection with the Freehand Selection Tool, copy the selection and paste it as many times as needed, moving each pasted copy wherever you want it to go.

Alternatively, you could use the Clone Stamp, and gradually copy / clone the car-free area to the places occupied by the cars. Compared to Copy / Paste, this achieves a more natural appearance, because the location of the cloning source can continuously change and alternate from different parts of the parking lot, thus achieving greater irregularity and thus greater naturalness of the copied areas.
