Quick blurr and masking?

[ollie]

hey all, i need to blur out "fame" to "shame". Can ayone run me thru quick tutorial?

Also looking for quick tutorial on masking out background

Ps. fame is black so easily removed, how do i do a blur (Guassian?) on the whole line? so I can add text over the top

thanks

-Choose the automask tool (The wizard's wand), no soft edge, no fill holes, only contiguous
-Click into the first letter you want to remove, hold down shift, click into the other letters.
-Tool > Mask > Expand mask by 2 pixels or so.
-filter > other > median, radius 6 looked fine for me. Not all white areas were deleted, but most, and the filled-in parts did match quite good to the background.
-The clone brush will do the rest: Choose a good source area an clone a while with still activated mask
-..then delete the mask (ctrl+D) and clone a bit more without it where needed

-Find a similar font and type the new text.
