Mural

I have a photograph of a wall mural that I need to remove the "brick look" or basically need to find a way to make the mural not look like its on a brick wall. Do you have any suggestions, I am stumped!

Answer
You could try to apply a soften filter, but that might make the whole image look blurry. You could also try using one of the smoothing tools to manually "rub out" the lines. My guess is that there is no "easy" way to do this. You're probably going to have to apply a lot of manual editing.

Either way, good luck.

Experience

I have been teaching Photoshop in the classroom and online for almost a decade. I currently teach online at http://www.PhotoshopLearningZone.com

Education/Credentials
I am completely self-taught with Photoshop - which I believe is the best way to learn. A good book, tutorials, and experts (such as those here at AllExperts) to ask question of is the best way to understand a subject. I have been an Expert here at AllExperts in several other catgeories (MS Word, Excel, Windows, etc.) for a long time.
