Blurring background

[MandieS]

I have been trying to use your Blurring Background tut to make the background & shepherd more oof but am having trouble with the Shepherds nose - guessing it must be something to do with where I've cloned but can't work out what to do! And I've made it worse by trying to fix it :\

May I see the version with your cloning?  The whole photo?

No, just the cloning step.  Where you partially cloned out the cream dog in the foreground.

Should look akin to this: http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/blur6.jpg

Hmm having few computer issues.....had to do a clean up & the psd for this pic seems to have disappeared! Will redo & see what happens :\

So 2nd attempt seemed to work better....but I must've done something wrong because I ended up masking in black?!!
