Lesson 1: Lasso Tool & Spot Heal Brush

In part 1 of this lesson I used the lasso tool to remove unwanted aspects from an image. These included a large poo stain on the perch, the wing of another bird in the top right corner, the padlock on the door and the date/time stamp.

I then used the spot heal brush to remove the cage bar from the foreground.

In Part 2 of this lesson I used the lasso tool and removed the bottom of the shelf bracket from the wall, the metal DVD shelf in the top right corner, a spot on the couch under the cat and the cat's collar. Then I used the spot heal brush to blur where the DVD shelf was...this needs perfecting though. As I discover new tools, I will fix this later.
