STEP 10: With the back-
ground images merged,
use the Rectangular Mar-
quee tool (M) to make a
large selection over the
seam that was left from
the overlap. Then use
Edit>Content-Aware Fill
to replace the pixels where
the overlap exists. Notice
in the example shown
here, we also included the
grout dividers in the stairs
nearest to the camera in
the selected area. This way,
it’s not obvious that the
detail that was duplicated
to the right side is a copy.
Set the Output To drop-
down menu to Duplicate
Layer and click OK.
Repeat this approach for
any other details you’d like
to replace. As an alternative
approach, you can also use
the Spot Healing Brush tool
(J), which also relies on
Content-Aware technology.S T EP 11: Similar to before
where we expanded the
canvas to add more
stairs, we now want to
create more room for the
sky in this image. Go to
Image>Canvas Size, click
on the lower-center Anchor
marker, change your values
to Percent, and resize the
Height by 125%. Click OK.
