Hi,
I need a quick and painless way to eliminate objects (everything from little imperfections that the photographer did not take into account when taking the photo, to erasing text). Right now I'm just trying to get rid of some text that's bothering me. I saw somewhere how a guy used the healing brush tool to erase a person from a photo and he did it somehow without setting a starting point. He just selected the healing brush tool, dragged it over the object and a second later, the healing brush had covered everything so well that there was no way of telling someone else was in that picture. Obviously I had missed something since I cannot do it on either Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements 2.0. So any ideas are welcome. :)

There is some really interesting stuff on that website with the video tutorials. It looks like the spot healing brush that I'm looking for is on Elements 3.0, not the one I have. Thanks!
