Good morning /p/,

I took this photo a while back and didn't bother to shop out the blutack holding the nut shells in place.
However, an Anon pointed it out when I posted the pic, but seeing as I hardly ever manipulate my photos (apart from basics to do with exposition, tint etc.) I'm stuck on how to get rid of the blutack and keep it looking clean.

I'm not demanding an outright explanation, but just a few mechanisms or optimal tools that I can look up for myself.

pic related is the one doing my head in.

Thanks for your time guys.

You could either cut the shells out, put a white background on it and paint in the shadows, or you can use the clone stamp. It's a bit tricky, you want to make sure to match the tones of the shadows properly

Thanks for the reply, I think photoshop is a lost cause on this one...as they say, you can't polish a turd.
I'll re-shoot I guess, and this time round I won't be a dipstick.

Having said that, I did try clone stamping, and it was a disaster...
