How to clean up an Image
The following editing was done on Stephen Fox's Spitfire, it was done as follows.
Open image to be edited. 1. Right click on the background Layer and create a duplicate layer. Click on this background layer to start editing. 2. In the History Palette create a snapshot. That's the button in the middle at the bottom. This creates snapshots of what you have done so far, you can then go back in history if you want to change things later. Continue

Next step
5. Now go to the patch tool Create a random shape, move this shape over an area that has been cloned. Keep doing this and it will even out the surface so it blends in.
when you are happy with the work done Save as a PSD. This keeps everything you have done so you can go back any time for more editing. If you save as Tiff or jpg you will only be saving the finished work with no options to go back, except to the original. The last photo is the final image.

Nice job Christine, but why stop there when you could clone out the stand as well

Its looking good, how is the colour added without tinting fuselage of Spitfire. If its easy then the background could be darkened showing the model with greater background to subject contrast.
