Cropping an image in photoshop

Original image

I was given an image of a road and the task was to erase the man who was walking on the road. How I went about tackling this I used the lasso tool to draw around parts of the man and then I clicked Steele and a screen would pop up saying fill content aware. I was later told that this was not the way to delete the man from the image, I had to use the stamp tool which allows you to copy a part of a texture in a image and use it to paint over the image. It was a slow process but it got the job done and the image looked more accurate then from the way I have cropped the man out.

Then I had to look at the other images of the road where the man wasn't there so I could see what was behind the man. There was some black paint (a man) on the wall and a red brick on the black part of the wall. What I did was crop out the man and place it into the photoshopped version, then using the stamp tool to blend it in to the image. For the brick I used the stamp tool to draw it into the image and draw a light line around it. I also had to replace the window on the building as there was a reflection of the man, I did by using the same method as the line of black paint on the wall.

Finally I had to give the road sign a name however there were some plants the way, what I had to do was copy the plant that was over the sign into a new project in photoshop. Then go back to the over image and erase the part of the plant that is covering the sign. After the plane has been erased use the text tool to add a name to the road. Once that is done I go back to my copy of the plant and start erasing the sign that is behind the plant, when the sign completely gone and only the plant remains, I had to crop around the part of the planet that was cover ing the sign and paste it back into my other photoshopped image.
