step 5 of 7

Here is a neat little trick I used. You need CS5 tho. Flatten the image, then select the plain background areas, feather a little and then do a content aware fill, dont know if this will always work well.

Made 1 more duplicate, rotated 22.5deg and put on screen again. Then repeat the last stage with the fill.
