Layer 2.

It's messy.

I know! Can I flatten the image and copy/ paste to straighten, then crop & sharpen?

Seeing this in my sleep! 

Sorry. Yes, more texture, a little noise and darker.

NO NO NO! I have extended the canvas to the approx size. 11,500 pixels approx.

Oh my - thank you! That's super!
So should I go to levels from here?

Thanks, looking now. I've developed a twitch in my tricep - is that a thing from doing this for so long? If so, you must have tri's of steel!

I'm sorry, at this point I can't even remember. It certainly wasn't evenly lit or textured.

Will this mean masking all around his back, head, pillow etc?

Turned off my lighten and darken carpet layers for these.

A muddy mess...should I go back to cloning? 

How do I approach this?
Should I clone out the posters first?

Start again...
The pink & blue poster will be removed. 

Great point.  Learning to see the bigger picture.

Can't seem to get the gradient right. 
Also, is cloning in the masseuse's shoulder an option so we don't lose the towel?

The carpet looks SO bad. Should I perhaps make it darker overall to match the dark patch rather than lightening the dark patch?

This is marginally better, but I think with the crop it will be ok after levels.

Can't stop laughing at this. Think they'll notice? 

Is there an easy way of extending the carpet? I am currently copy & pasting and it's making an awful mess.
Carpet FAIL!

I have added the noise layer - thank you. Do you think it's ready for the floor to be added?

Trying to add the pattern (noise) layer - I don't have the same as you do in the video.

I can't seem to get the right side base right... Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Realised I shouldn't cute the bottom off under the plug....

Never mastered the gradient - am I on the right track here?
