I came across the following picture with the tall guy out of sync with the rest of the guys. As we work through the tutorial I’ll delete the tall guy from the picture.

Step 0: I’ve used Adobe Photoshop CS 4 for this Tutorial but you could use any version as the tools i used are present in any version. You could also use the Equivalent tools in GIMP.

Step 1: First decide on the object to be replaced. In this case i decided to move the Green Guy to the Left so that he would cover a major portion of the tall guy. After that I would try to replicate the lawn to cover the region occupied by the fat guy.

Step 2: I’ll assume that you have loaded the picture into Photoshop. Choose the quick select tool. {Shortcut key is ‘W’} Click on the Green guy and select him completely. If you select regions that are not part of the Green guy simply hold ‘ALT’ key and click on the Extra region. You may want to decrease the size of the brush.

Step 4: Now that we have the object to be moved. Choose the Move tool and then Press and hold  ‘ALT’ + ‘C’ together and drag the selection over the tall guy. Luckily for me the Green guy covered a major portion of the tall guys lower part. {Optional: Press ‘CTRL’+’T’ and adjust the image however you like } Press ‘CTRL’+’D’ to deselect.

Step 5: You’ve completed over 80% of the job now. Now comes the easy part. We will now clone the surrounding onto the Extra portions of the Tall guy and the Original Green Guy. To do this select the clone tool {Press ‘S’ to select the Clone tool}. Press and hold the ‘ALT’ key and then click on the Lawn to the right. Bring the Mouse over the Original Green Guy and Hold the Left Mouse Button and swing around to replicate the lawn{The ALT + click that you did initially defines the area to be cloned}. Repeat the procedure with the trees and pavement. It’s all Hand eye co-ordination here.

I ended up with this picture finally.

Just have a little patience and you can do wonders.

It's out..
the one lac rupees Car from the tata stables is out at last and will soon be rolling all over India. It has accomplished something which everyone said was impossible.

The car is called NANO and i was wondering why ?


Here is why i think it is called so. When ratan tata announced for the first time that he would make a car for 1 lac rupees so that every Indian could drive and flaunt a car; most of the corporates jeered at him. Maruti Suzuki even went on record saying that there is no way anyone could build a car for 1 lac and make a profit!

The press caught up with this wind and started saying: "NO" it is impossible, "NO",he is bluffing, "NO" he can't build it and stuff.This was in the English newspapers

The Hindi newspapers and magazines roared saying "Na",yeh to namumkin hei (NA means NO in Hindi)

But then yesterday Tata proved em all wrong and cheek in tongue combined the No's and Na's of everyone into one word "NaNo"
The first 2 characters being 'No' in Hindi and the last 2 characters being 'no' in English.

Thus TATA gave a reply to their detractors in their own language :)

way to go TATA
