erase the radiator

[Jbasya]

Hi Damien,

What do you recommend for getting rid of that radiator? I cloned over it for a smooth surface, then tried copying the left wall, but it's so much darker. A gradient layer did OK but makes me want to try copying the wall again for its texture.

The molding is also giving me hell. I copied from the other wall but again it's so much darker and hard to transform into the right position.

I suspect you'll have some good suggestions  

Thanks!

Oh hell.

May I see a 100% crop from the base area?

[Jbasya]

Thank you! Here's a few crops. Forgot to mention this isn't my photograph, I'm helping another photographer. The edits to this point are hers, not mine. (And she's satisfied with my gradient layer edit, but I know it can be better.)

Is it possible to fit the entire base of the radiator into one crop?

[Jbasya]

I halved the image size to fit the crop into 700x700, hope that was the right approach.

thanks again
