An alternate way is to have the rectangle layer with the image layer below it and a copy of the image layer above it. Temporarily lower the opacity of the top layer so that you can see the rectangle layer and erase the parts of the top layer that cover the rectangle.

Hi Keith

This is very easy.

With your rectangle layer selected, go to Layer >Layer Mask >Reveal all

Now in the layers panel click on the mask and, using a black brush, paint on the areas of the image you want to hide. If you overdo it, don't worry, just switch to a white brush and paint back in again (black on the mask hides the layer - white shows it).

Just use the clone tool to brush over the rectangle areas and clean up with the healing tool if necessary.
