Need help editing a photo

I work for a real estate company, we will take panoramic pictures and place them in software to merge them for 1 long photo that can be moved around.

I am trying to take this photo which has some nicks in it and touch it up.

Specifically the areas in the bottom left where the floorboard, moldings join. As you can see it's pretty out of line. I don't have to get it perfect, but am trying to ensure it's not a noticeable glitch. I have about 5 of these I need to do, so any help as to if it's possible and how I can go about it would be great.

So far I've tried using the smudge tool, copying parts of the real and pasting it over it, however with the angle it's beyond my skill to do this.

Also the other glitch in the window trim on the right side...

Thank you for any help or assistance anyone is able to provide.

Are the "glitches" (left and right) overlapping layers?

If so the one on the left needs to be transformed (scaled) to about 102%.

The one on the right looks to me like it need to scale to about 98%

If not you'll have to make selections to make them on independent layers.

Try to 'restitch' the photos, so your panorama lines up ok.
Do you have the individual photos? Or did someone send you the stitched file?

Hi Guys,

Blending edges of photos

Step 1. Open the first photo, then > double click to make it a layer and not a background.
Step 2. Use more layers, keep the middle photo on Layer 2.
Step 3. Open the left side photo in its own file and make sure that all photo/image size resolutions are the same.
Step 4. Open the right side photo in its own file and again ensure the photo/image size resolutions are the same.

Step 5. Photo 1 file, choose > Image > Canvas Size > then change the canvas height to allow drawing room AND change the canvas width that allows all three photos PLUS a little drawing room.

Make sure you pick the 'move by middle' arrow option (or what suits you)

Step 6. On the photo 2 file, drag across to Photo 1 file (or select all, cut and paste)
Step 7. Do this with Photo 3 also.

This should give you three layers.

Press Ctrl S (save the file as .psd)

Step 8. On layer that holds Photo 2, choose > Edit > Transform > Scale

Step 9. The layer (photo 2) now has grab handles around it. HOLD Shift key and move those to alter the height. Not holding shift means non-proportional scaling.

Use two windows if you really want absolute accuracy without always zooming in and out. To do so, Choose > Window > Arrange > New window for....(filename)

Tip: use rulers and guidelines, you can access these by just clicking and dragging from the top or left window panes.

Repeat the same for Photo 3.

Final quick treatments to hide any pixel overlaps/errors or mis match colors etc.

Use the Eraser Tool in Blur Brush and Less Opacity. To do so, click the Eraser Tool on the toolbox. > Choose approx 45 blur brush > Set opacity to less than 30.

Provided that you made your original canvas a little larger, now expand the window to full size so that you see 'original window dark grey' around your canvas, if you cant, zoom out.

Step 10. Using the Eraser Tool in Soft Brush Mode less than 30 Opacity...
> HOLD DOWN YOUR SHIFT KEY > Click once outside the Canvas
Then remaining to hold the shift key, go to the other side of your canvas and click outside the canvas.

This will constrain the eraser between the two points and give you a smooth pixel loss on Photo 2. Then, just move it slightly over Photo 1 and it will be invisible.
Do this for each overlapping edge between Photo 1 and 2, Photo 1 and 3 and it will be invisible.

Hope it helps,

Forgot to add, when you choose > Edit > Transform > Scale...

provided that your canvas size is larger than the image you can hold your mouse a distance AWAY from the grab handles, they turn into rotate, so you can re-angle the shot if needed.

Also, the photos in your question look good and well taken, however, if you get different light angles from different parts of the room you can adjust these by:
Choose > Image > Adjustments > Exposure (or try other filter in the adjustments sections)

This will alter the layer and you can do so by :numbervalue or by :your eye. this way you get the same looking colors when the slideshow begins.

If you want to add artificial lighting to walls etc, get better at using the brush tools WITH Opacity options. It's great for this type of work.

Thank you for the help, I will do my best to piece it together and follow your well placed instructions.

Thank you
