Ok, Looks great, I just used the burn tool a little on the right side to give it some shadow at like 30 %. Then used the Liquify to give it a little rounded top and bottom, I did this on the full jpeg, if you have the block on a seperate layer it would look even better I think.


Here ya go.

great...okay...how big is the brush you use for the liquify? I seem to loose the straight edge on the vertical line.
Thanks again!!

you mean like this???



using either the quick selection tool or the magic wand, highlight the area to be altered..in this case the grey grip.
Now since it's a grey/black issue it can be easily altered by going into the image tab and selecting adjustments.
from there you will go into the brightness/contrast controls and adjust to match the surrounding area.

when you are done "deselect" your quick selection tool to see your product.

BUT there is a problemb....you will see a noticable "rectangle" around the area you just altered

to fix this i will magnify intill eack pixl is almost a centimeter or 2 large, then using the clone stamp i will "clone" the pixl directly above or below the area to be cloned (or side to side for verticle.
when finished....set your blur tool for 25-30% and blur the altered cloned area only.

i'm sure there is an easier way....but i never read the manuals

(edit)
duh...now i see what you wanted :im a dork:

I used a brush that gave me over hang on both sides of the grey block, that let me try to catch the entire lower edge then again the entire upper edge.

Sorry I don't know what size i used.
