Remove Section

[donnam87039367]

Hi,

I searched help but couldn't find the exact answer to my situation.

I would like to cut out a section of a picture. Then put together the two halves of the same picture / the remaining picture as one.

Thank you to all who reply.

Have a great day.

Is this a Photoshop or Photoshop Elements question? Or another app?

Can you explain a bit more in detail what you really want to do?

In the latest Photoshop CC, double-click the background layer in the Layers Panel to unlock it. 

Hit Ctrl / Cmd + J to duplicate the layer.

Next, create a Layer Mask to hide unwanted areas of your image.   See video tutorial below.

Thanks for your help.  Does not solve my issue but good info for the future.

Thanks for taking the time.

I have one picture in Photoshop. Need to cut out the middle of the picture and push the remaining two sections together. Hope that is more clear.

Thanks for any help.
