How Do I Mend A Broken Window?

1. Select area with rectangular selection tool
2. Ctrl+J copies area onto new layer
3. Use Move tool to move new layer over broken window
4. Flatten
5. Save
Hope that helps, takes less than 30 seconds in Photoshop. Other programs may offer a similar workflow.
Best regards, John

If I could Photoshop some buyers that would be even better.

Thanks.
That should make you a bit easier to find!

If you look at JRs version he has used the window above to ensure a similar reflection from the glass.

The council wouldn't come round so I had to carry out some minor repairs myself:

Roped in some child labour though:

I never got round to the outhouse door. There's a smaller house a pool and a barn too. Quite a project. Shame I can't airlift it to the Cotswolds. Take a tour if you like.

Wow...that's gorgeous. Must be a wrench to drag yourself away from that place.

That's a fine looking house. I wouldn't want to leave it.
When I first looked at the original photo I thought that must be
a very wide angle lens due to the slope of the left side of the
roof....... certainly couldn't do that with a tele. Now from the
link I see it was 16mm..... Shot No. 5 looks closer to a normal
lens.

It's a combination of the width of the lens and width of the house (22metres), plus a little bit side on always looks a bit better.
I'm trying not to think about the weather, although Brighton is sunnier than most.

By all means. I'm going to be fishing out the dead reptiles & amphibians shortly.

UK estate agents are not allowed to present properties for sale using 'doctored' photos. You might want to check your local laws before using this modified image in any 'for sale' literature.
Great looking house though. I considered living in France many years ago, but ended up in Spain. There's much more bureaucracy to tie you up in knots here.
