Marquee tool selection

[Adeoti]

So I was really hoping someone could help me out, I was running into a problem with Content-Aware fill, I needed to remove a woman standing from a photo.

I had masked out the area I wanted CAF to work with before I executed it but I got a very blurry result.

Then I resolved to using the marquee tool selection to try and cut out my selection and then put it over the woman, but everytime I moved my selection, the colour seemed to darken. I don't understand why.

Please anyone, answers? It's really urgent.

Please tell us which version of PS you are using and post the image and the Layers panel.

Using V20 new Content Aware

1. Lasso tool to surround the girl and. a selection around her shadow

2. Choose Edit > Content Aware Fill (not Edit > Fill > Content-Aware) which presents  a preview window.

Note in the preview that a portion of the boy's shadow was used as a reference for filling the girl's shadow.

3. Paint the area of the Preview (Options bar minus) and the correction is shown in the Preview.

4. OK and then deselect the marching ants.
