There are two ways of doing this:

The easiest way is to use the eyedropper tool to sample the color as your foreground color - make sure the foreground color square is selected when you use the eyedroper tool - then use a brush, pencil or the paint bucket tool to cover the area.

Alternatively, try using the Clone Stamp Tool. Alt+Click where you want to take the color from, and then hold down the mouse key to cover up the new area.

Hi

When an image of any curved shape with anti-aliased edges (which are transparent) is merged with black layer below it (which is larger in size then the image on the layer above it) produces dark color tone of the pixels ONLY ON THE EDGES,on converting it to index colour with transperency -off,forced -black and white,matte- none, palette-local selective.They are visible only when the image is zoomed in at a large value.how to get rid of the blackness it produces on the edges?

Hi

Ive got a problem with a duotone and a gradient. I'm using a solid reflex blue doutone photo and I need to put a white gradient fade below so that text can be flown onto it from freehand. The saved duotone once brought into freehand gives me an hard blue edge. How would I fix it to look more clear and soft?

Thanks
