design process- detailing the door.

The first of my outcomes included a door with a narrow opening. I was fortunate to get a photo of a door with the right characteristics necessary. However, it included objects and details that I did not want to include in my final.

So I started manipulating this photo by first removing the exterior that can be seen in the gap of the door. For this I used the pen tool to create a path in the gap, and simply covered it in black using the fill path option.

So now the door looks like it has something dark and mysterious at the other side of it.

For here, I now want to remove the unnecessary details such as the fire signs. To do this, I simply used the clone stamp tool to replicate the blank walls over the signs, and the healing brush tool to blend the replicated areas to the rest of the photo.

This is the end result of this process. Compared to the final outcome in which this is included in, this door is all of just one layer.
