Zoom in really close,
and use paint brush ^-^

Just use content aware healing, through the spot healing brush. Problem solved.

In LR i would use the clone tool, works wonders. Same applies for PS

It depends on the background. Can you post the image?

Why worry about it? :lmao:

If the car has a license plate, people can see the plate everytime the car is out on the street.

Is this a serious question? Because how many more people are on the internet compared to on the streets? You do know that you can find people's address/name off somebody's plate number right?

Nothing personal, but if you're using CS5 and don't know how to do this very simple task any number of different ways, perhaps you should just open it in MS Paint, draw a box around the plate, hit CTRL-X, hit CTRL-S then go back to your regularly scheduled program.

Alright then.

It's the washington state plate. So it's kind of hard to do since the background image is of mount rainier.

If I had to guess, I would say that there are approximately 5 times as many people on the streets as there are on the internet...

Who cares what you can find from a plate number? That's public information... Someone could probably get the same info (or more) from that post you just made...

Open a blank layer above the image. Use a small, hard-edge brush. Sample the blue and paint out the numbers
where they overlap the blue areas. Switch to white for the white areas. No need to be too precise about the
shapes of the snow areas on the mountain. They're just random shapes.
