Remove shadows and replace with consistent background?

[scottishnewbie29]

Hey everyone

 

Have searched for ages and couldn't find an answer to this so hoping someone can help!

I'm completely new to this, having new used any type of design/editing tools before.

 

I'm trying to edit an image and would like to remove the shadows and replace that part with what the rest of the background looks like so it looks seamless.

 

I tried using clone stamp but for some reason the colour is coming out much brighter than the rest of the image and does not match?!

I turned opacity down and attempted to use the eraser to try and lighten a bit but it didn't really work.

 

Ideally I just need to brush over the shadow areas to make them lighter, or to lasso and delete the areas and refill with background the blends in.

 

I've attached a picture which shows some of the shadows i'm trying to remove plus what it looks like when I attempt to clone stamp. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

gah, i just realised i had blend mode on glow for some reason hence that colour, but even when set to normal i still can't achieve what I want so any help would be great!

try using magic wand to remove the wood as a whole, then insert a new wood texture without shadows @scottishnewbie29

here is one with a transparent background, i removed the jar too on accident, go ahead and use magic want yourself if you want the jar too (zoom in and use eraser tool for the smaller parts!) then import your wood texture

Update: So I tried out stamp tool and it looks fine, just needs a bit touching up.. the trick is to use 0% hardness
