unfortunately this pic service made it into a jpg


but I tested the png and it now works on all color backgrounds

what I did

made a layer white
merged layers
fixed the hole w/ patch tool
select color range- click white area- adjust to your liking
select inverse and clear
save for web as PNG

you are a CLUELESS jackass JOE-please download and try it- YOU never have
right info and think every thing is quickmask-- JOE- the issue is not HOW
TO FIX THE HOLE or what tool to use or what technique- those are KNOWN- the
patch does the same as CLONE

but the transparency changes when you do--due to the PNG format-

try it before you talk more nonsense --as if you know anything
