A friend, using Elements 8, is asking me how to best remove the orange from this body. I use CS4, but I'm not familiar with what PE8 will do.
Thanks

How would you do it in CS4? You should be able to take a similar approach in Elements, but if you friend isn't experienced with thing like the cloning tool or maybe dealing with colors and saturation and such you may need to look at some time explaining thing to him/her.

The photo doesn't look like it merits the amount of work required. . .

If your friend isn't familiar with the cloning tool, it's the perfect place to learn. No joke, and I'm not being a wise-guy. Cloning isn't rocket science and working on something you care about is more satisfying than just working tutorials and such.

I'm going to help him improve his cloning (he leaves a lot of after-effects), and try to teach him to use a layer. for some of his work has actually begun falling apart from his working on the background. I'm actually having to teach myself how the use (find) tools available in his PE8).
Thanks
