Replace Part of a Photo

Q: First: If you look at the desert photo I have presented, you will see the wave effect of the sand. What I want to do is remove the two human figures without showing any affect on the wave of the sand dune. In other words, if I magnify this area, I do not want to see any digital distortions to the sand - I want to see an all natural look.

Second: After I have the result I want - do I use psd format to save; how do I go from this format (psd) to save as a pattern in elements PSE 6? Please show all precise steps as I am fairly new and need direction on most projects. Thank you for your time and direction.

Third: Why can I not upload a png photo? Why does this site only use jpg or gif? It make no sense to me. Thanks, JAW


A: Let me start with the third part of your question and work backwards.

I apologize for the inconvenience but the file format restrictions are set by my web hosting company and are out of my control. But you can easily create a jpg or gif in Photoshop Elements by doing a Save As from the File menu and then selecting either jpg or gif from the dialog box.

Second:I will create a tutorial for creating patterns in Photoshop Elements and post it here soon as a Comment.
