The procedure to do this picture:
using the eyedropper tool selected an area of the background on the
original next to the body and wings of a dragonfly-- I created a new
canvas sized at 15X20 at the same resolution as the originals-- with the
new canvas selected I filled the area by holding down the Alt key on
keyboard and pressing the Delete key-- Back to the original at a high
magnification I used the magnetic lasso at feather 3px, width 3px, edge
contrast 5% and selected a dragonfly-- then using the move tool on the
dragonfly just selected I moved it to the new canvas and positioned it
where I wanted it-- repeat for the remaining objects I wanted to move..
The cleanup process consisted of using the eraser tool with a soft brush
at a high magnification at 30% opacity adjusting the size of the eraser
with the [ ] keys ( [=(smaller) and ]=(larger)) on the keyboard next
to the body, wings and legs where needed and using the clone stamp tool
to repair the legs on the dragonfly where the stick was removed..
finished by selecting all on the new canvas then clicking the little
black and white squares under the color boxes to select black as the
color choice then to the top menu to edit, stroke at 50px to make the
black border.. FINI.. I am sure there are many different ways in
Photoshop to do the same thing (masks, etc.).. but this is how I did
it.. Hope this helps...
