Thank you Irene,

I must take some time out and look at quicker ways. Hopefully with a fair amount of automation and/or intelligent editing.

I dont use filters or any plugins. This was 99% done with the clone tool and 1% copy/ paste. I usually work with a small soft brush and just go pixel by pixel.

Try looking at youtube for tutorials
