"Now as we can see here, it's not looking too bad so let's go ahead and finish up here. I've got a little bit more effect that I want to add to this. So as we can see we have this big chunk taken out right here and it's not really looking much like an apple chunk. It's looks like almost she's got something wrong with her head like she might be part alien or something. So, in order not to have this photo be too confused, this is what I made this apple copy for. What I'm going to use is I'm going to use this stem here. We're going to place that right into her head, just because. Just to beef it up and give it just that much more to it. Let's back that up a little bit. Let's choose our apple copy here that we have, let's move it around and we're going to go ahead and erase the things that we don't want which is going to be a lot of it. Most of it, actually. Let's go ahead and get a big tool going on here. There we go. Now let's take a minute to look and see what we've got going on here. We have basically what we have is this white oval that, let's go under our Pick tool so I can explain this. We have this white oval that kind of circles around the outside of what I call the belly button of the apple here. And then we also have this green part right here that becomes darker as it falls down into it. What's going to happen is is we're going to have to re-create this because we are not going to be able to keep this look right here. I mean I'm going to put the stem up here but as you can see this is not going to fade in so well with the rest of her head. So what I need to do is I'm going to have to erase all of this except for the stem and then I'm going to have to re-create these shadows and depth that going on here so we're going to do that. So let's go back to our Erase tool now, after we hit Enter, and Accept that. We're going to hit our Erase tool and we're just going to go ahead and shrink our thing down by using our buttons there. We're just going to go ahead and just erase this out. We can actually go into our Wand tool and pretty much get rid most of this. If we take our Wand tool and bring it's Tolerance back up. So we are going to pause here and we'll come back to this in the next section."
