New. Help. Please. Frustrated

A: Hello. First post. First of many, I am sure. Using Photoshop CS2.

B: Interested in darkening up the top portion of the attached, and possibly removing me (in the background, headless torso). I've been playing around with the burn tool and the band aid tool, but I can....see...my retouching? It's just very obvious, which leads me to believe I am doing something wrong.

Thanks!

Can you post a larger picture? Use the "Save for Web" function in CS2 and reset the size, but keep the file size under 100K.

Will do later tonight. Issues because I couldnt register with hotmail, so I registered from work, but no photoshop at work.

Your photo is very creative. It would have been nice to at least have the entire...dish(?) in the frame. My attempt may look ok on screen, but would definitely be bad for print...
