regarding image editing

Question

I have a requirement where I need to erase a particular area of an image, but the constraint is that i shouldn't see white color in the area where I applied my eraser tool. The area where I used my eraser tool shouldn't look different from the rest of the image's background color.

For eg: http://www.hdwallpapers.net/gallery/thumbnails/computer/computer_0099_lightbox.jpg

here you see windows icon in the middle, I want to remove that icon alone. In icon's place I need background color in such a manner that it matches with the rest of the image.

Could you suggest the steps and tools which i can use to achieve the same. I have adobe photoshop at present. can that be done using photoshop. If not, please suggest the tool which does that.

Answer 1

Well, you can't do what you want perfectly. Assuming it's a flattened image (just pixel data), that information under the logo just doesn't exist.

However, you can erase it using a traditional eraser tool and then use a clone tool to fake what the background should look like.

This isn't really a programming question so it doesn't belong here, but I hope I helped.
