Hi, I have a picture that is attached. I want to remove the belt picture on the bottom left. How do I do it? But I want to keep the background color intact. How do I reapply back to that color after the belt picture is erased?

I have another belt picture that I want to replace. How do I do that? However, the belt that I wish to replace, the background color is in orange and not white (which might be easier to just insert in).

Would someone kindly help with my Qs? Thanks a bunch! Cool

Hello,
- Select a "good" portion of image with the Rectangular Marquee tool
- Activate Free Transform [Ctrl+T]
- Stretch the selected area to hide the belt

Hi doubrovski, thanks for your reply. I tried it and did the rectangular marquee tool. I noted that you successfully deleted the belt picture, but how do I delete it away? Which tool should I use?

Thanks alot for you help!

P.S I might pour in more Qs the next time. Hope you dun mind Big Wink

Hi sharon,
No need to erase. Just press [Ctrl+T] and transform the selected rectangle to hide the existing picture

Hi doubrovski,
Thanks. I've applied Ctrl+T but the product image and background color were both taken off - as attached. How to make the background color stay intact, like what you've done?
Pardon my ignorance.
Thanks alot.

Sharon,
Have you cleared the selected (and transformed) area with [Delete] key? You shouldn't erase or delete anything. Just apply the transformation and save the image.
