Nice job BoltBait

At first I did simply crop the picture so that the runner in black was out of view, but then I had issues with sizing the remainder of the photo so it would fit the standard 4x6 inch photgraph format. I took the cropped image and copied onto a blank 4x6 canvas but it left me with big borders do deal with if I had then entire cropped photo on the canvas. I hope that makes sense. All of this is new to me. The reason the guy's legs are on backwards is because they belong to the runner in the black tights over her right shoulder Thanks for pointing it out. That's an easy fix. For the curb I just used the rectangle selection tool and then as carefully as I could I used the clone stamp to fill that area in. I hadn't thought of using the line tool, but it's a great idea and I'll give it a try. Not sure what the color picker is, but I'll search the forum and try it as well. Thanks everyone!!!

This is my first attempt at using Paint.NET so it may seem rather amateurish to some. I took a picture of me and a friend, layered the "Friends" logo onto it, then removed the runner on the left side of the picture and used the clone stamp to fill that area back in. What gave me the most problems was trying to get the curb on the left side of the picture looking straight and running diagonally into the distance. Notice the curb seems rather bumpy where I removed the one runner. Is it just a matter of having a steady hand? Any tips on how I could do that as well as any other tips on what I could do to improve the final result would be most welcomed. I'm also unsure what to do about how unbalanced the final result looks. Seems all the action is in the middle and the right with too much dead space or concrete on the left side. Here's the before: And the after: [/img]
