I'm a real newb to photoshop and this forum.

I want to copy and move a rectangular piece of an image but it's not straight up and down. I selected it with the rectangle marquee tool and tried to "free rotate" it but I'm left with 'white space' where the selection turned.

What should I do to copy and move this piece?

Thanks,

Rob

show us what you're talking about, that might help us (I know it would me) get a handle on this for you.

Hi moondog

I want to eliminate this guy's head and left side. I thought I could carry the frames on the door down and copy a "spike" and size it. There a some horizontal elements that need to be extended. Maybe (probably) I'm going about this the wrong way?

Here is an exagerated pic showing the result of trying to 'rotate' the section.

Is your original picture untouched? Could I see that?
