Hello, I'm new to Photoshop and I'm using Photoshop CS 4.

I have a question, if I have for example a photo of a street, and there's something in the picture that I want to remove: How can I it and still keep the background? Is there anyway I can do it simply?

For example - deleting a traffic sign from a picture and still have a real looking background instead of the traffic sign, possible?
