Hi, I have an image at (http://www.flickr.com/photos/
15048556(a)N05/4574509349/sizes/o/). The image is semi-transparent.
There is a "hole" at the middle. I would like to remove the hole. I
tried to copy a small aera from other part of the image and overlay on
top of the hole. But the transparency then became different. You can
clearly see the patch. What is the best way to remove the hole and
make the center part the same as other part?

Thanks,

did you cut and paste to a new layer? if you did it that way make sure the
layer is in the same MODE- (drop down box at top of layer palette)

best way would be to use the patch tool, circle the area adjacent and "move"
it over

Thank you very much for replay. I tried but it does not seem to work.
Could you please try it?

Thank you again.

Thank you again.

once you turn the file to jpeg it is no longer layered or transparent

are you working in a psd file? with tranparency *or tiff or png

nope now I see it's png
copying any technique--clone or heal makes the transparency double and
leaves a darker area
I tried on white background to dupe the layer, then used top layer on
overlay or difference it got rid of the spot but left top and sides darker-
I cleared them and it looked fine - only on white though
on other color backgrounds it makes a rectangle-

HMM
it the orig file a photo?
if so I suggest fix it as another format first then make transparent after
the hole is fixed
