"Cleaning" building bricks

Hello,

I have a shot of a building with some obviously dirty/stained brick. I want to clean off the stains. Not to make them look new and clean, but to fit in with the rest of the building. How can I accomplish this?

The portion that looks like I screwed up with the spot healing brush is actually like that.

I have Photoshop CS5.

Thanks.

The spot healing brush in photoshop, used in a little area at a time, will do a pretty good job. I justed tested it with a part of your image.

I have Photoshop CS5.

Filter _ Vanishing point .... clone in perspective. Not sure if in PS CS5.

If I may ask, what was you brush radius?

I just opened up, and CS5 does have vanishing point. Reading tutorials now.

don't recall exactly, but fairly small, maybe 3 bricks.

If your goal is to just get rid of the rust stains then your best bet is to use frequency separation.

This is a quick edit...
