I need help!

I have a photo of a little girl and a puppy...it's really cute but it is a hunting family and we were taking pictures with a gun and such hunting supplies. Well, when I was taking the photo I didn't see it but now that it's on my computer, there is a shotgun in the background and it looks like it is pointed at her head. How do I get that out!!? (The gun was actually about 15 feet behind her and pointed at an angle and NOT loaded) I use Photoshop Elements 8. Thanks for any help you can give me! :)

Would have to see the pic to really understand the situation. But you should be able to brush the gun out using a background matching tool in Elements.

can you use the clone tool to remove it?

Here it is! I think there are too many different colors right there to use the brush tool...

Who but you would know it was a gun! Try just cropping! I don't use elements any more, but I would give the paint brush a try. NOTE: Make sure you make a copy to practice on! Not the original. Now I use Apple's Aperture, which has a brush tool that pretty much matches any background. (You can down load for a free trial, if you are on a Mac platform.)

Here is 60 sec attempt using the clone tool. Maybe it will help. If you are not aware the clone tool is on sidebar and looks like a rubber stamp.

Thank you! I'll try it out!

Second effort looks fantastic!...Now we can mention your picture. Nice shot of girl and pup. Owners will be very pleased with your efforts. First retouch looked like Elements, second could be Aperture! Who knows? You just get better with practice. But rule #1 is to try to take pics that don't need retouching (or cropping!)

I know...can't believe I didn't see that when I was taking the pictures!

I "operated" just a little on this adorable image. I always feel a bit presumptuous when I do this but it's fun for me and I hope helpful to you. I just got rid of some extraneous space and upped the colors a bit.
