How to do the following in Photoshop

[Ysarex]

Back to the Tractor (sorry I didn't do this first). Use blending modes and layer masks to both lighten the stack and darken the surrounding tree branches.

Here's a PSD file so you can see the work: Tractor.psd

Exhaust stack?

What exhaust stack?

Egads! Shut the tractor off immediately...the rings are shot.

I do, but I don't see a spider?

Spiders don't wear top hats over here.

I suspect that would be some fairly advanced editing, but personally I think the shot would be well worth the effort! Unlike ronlane there, I wouldn't scrap this shot at all...in my opinion, a "moment" like that is too precious to simply delete. As Buckster there suggested, I'd probably use the clone and healing brushes and I might even do a bit of layer work there as well...the lighting is fairly even across the pooch's face, so you might be able to use other parts of the face to create something of a "patch" here and there. It'll likely take a fair amount of effort, but personally I think it would be worth it.

Good luck, keep at it and beautiful dog!
