Textile Design Lab's Summer of Creativity: Editing a Texture

Look!
This:

Came from this:

Lesson Two was a quickie editing technique for textures that ended up working out well on my 2nd try.

1) Added "Content Aware" fills by making a selection, Select > Inverse, hit Delete (choosing Content Aware)
1A) a misfire -- cropping area has too much white edge

[from here on, a reenactment] 

1B, Red shows a tighter selection, better all-over fill 

2) Cropped to an area that I liked (this art not in repeat)

Next, I'll show crops of the transformations without the step-by-step directions.
Maintaining a bit of mystery, since it's not a free course.

 Oops, reenactment doesn't match. Oh well -- glad that I saved the original!

The Textile Design Lab is a monthly membership fee-based site. Well worth it, so far!
