Re: Question about removing a text from an image and replacing it with another text..

If it's on a simple background, like a blackboard or piece of paper, you can use the patch tool or the clone tool (try both, different strokes for different folks and one might be better than the other for the job). If it's complicated (like over leave on a tree, in someone's hair...) it'll be easier to just take another picture.

To make it look 'real', choose a font that looks 'real'. You can use whatever you want though - there are no technical restrictions on which fonts you can use where. If you're re-setting something written by hand, I would recommend re-setting ALL the text. Not just the one letter that needs fixing. Otherwise it will look less 'real' because the PS-added stuff will stand out a mile to the original text.

Make the text a normal layer, then use the mesh tool to mold it to the shape of the paper/wall/sky/whatever. Remember Perspective!

Images are only as big or high-res as they come to you. It will still work. Just don't try and resize it - then you'll have text that's smoother and cleaner than the rest of the image - another dead giveaway to a photoshopped piece.

Hope this helped.  -White
