Ahem ... yeah, maybe.

Oh my God, that thread is catastrophic.

Clone the seams, I guess.

Yep.

Have you made your noise pattern? The link to do so is in the article.

Gee, it looks really good to me!

Yes, that's looking promising so far.

May I have the link, mate?

Oh gee, 29GB is miniscule. That's going to be a problem, I reckon. You need to clear some space. Brian has said that a hard drive needs to have 1/3rd free space.

Is there a particular style you're going for? I mean, what's taking the time?

No, DEFINITELY not. It's gradients. https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/

How did you go, did you try it?

Oh yeah, it'll be the easier one, eh?

I can't open rar files. Please just upload it normally.

When you're masking the end result around a subject. But you're not doing that in this case, right? You're just creating a whole fake wall?

I trust you've read this, and watched the video? https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/

Definitely DON'T use gradients on the masks. The masks must remain all white. Use as many gradient layers as you need. Maybe you'll wish to put them on a blend mode, such as "Multiply" or "Screen", but in some cases "Normal" mode will be fine. Make sure you make good use of transparency in the gradients. I want to help you more, I really do, but I need to see what you have in mind. DO NOT USE MASKS. I can't stress this enough.

I need more context. What are you trying to create, exactly?

Are there supposed to be images? I can't see any.

What a strange one. I guess it'll have to do.

If you could do this for him, that would be great.

I'll move this post into the Ask Brian section.

I'd hoped for a quick fix. Sometimes the Dust & Scratches filter is great for this. But for this one, I'm afraid it'll have to be a job for the Spot Healing Brush tool.

Yep.
