Filling in Gap

Using Rectangular Marquee Tool, Blend Mode, Hue/Saturation and Levels 

Like I briefly touched up in the previous post I had a gap I needed to fill, about 5 lines worth, I was sure I didn't want to use any more typed text. So I went to look what else I could place, like placing a table there of some kind. I came across a special features section I could add, I had two options this was to create my own or take one from an existing and I took one from an existing one. This took me ages to find because not many covers contain this and the one that I did find had different tones of orange but I make these transparent like I did before. 

(Placed)

I placed this in the area and it was good fit, I changed the Blend Mode in order to try and get rid of some of the orange in the background and was successful, I used Lighter Colour Blend (turned the opacity down also as it was too strong). I still hadn't finished with the effects because it was not yet transparent. For this reason I applied the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer, and I turned the Saturation down and this got rid of the colour orange/red and was on the image you can see in the screen shot however it didn't get rid of any of the marks that were left where the orange colour was. I then added another adjustment layer, this was Levels, and this was the last effect I needed to apply because it achieved exactly what I wanted it to. It got rid of the marks, as you can see in the screen shots, all of these effects did different things but together they did exactly what I wanted for them to so overall I was glad with the result.
