Layers - From PHOTOS to ART with Photoshop - page 171

When the Duplicate Layer Window pops-up, choose “ Photos to Art ” from the list of open
files.
I named this newly copied layer “Main Image.”
We will talk more about copying a layer from one file to another, when we add the second
image layer — the small inset original photo. For now, let's move to Figure 57 .
The image is now part of the Book Cover File and we can position it where we choose. I
want the dancer to be slightly to the right of center. This results in a noticeable white rect-
angle on the left side of the book cover. I can extend the gradient into this area with the
help of the Rectangular Marquee Tool .
1) Make sure that the image layer is highlighted in the layers panel.
2) Draw a marquee box around the white area on the left.
3) Select Edit > Fill
4) Make sure that Content-Aware is selected in the Fill window.
5) Click OK .
