    I think this would be better in either the Graphic Shop or Graphic Tutorials/Help sections.

    Anyways, it depends on the picture.

    You could send the picture to a skilled graphics artist and see what they could do with it.

    Yeah, I suggest using a crop tool of some sort...let me just check which one....The polygonal lasso tool! First you get in real close then you use the polygonal lasso tool to outline the person you want to delete.

    OK, so you're working with Photoshop - that means you can work with layers. Layers are love when it comes to stuff like this. When working on a photo you should always start out by making a duplicate of the original image, incase you make a mistake later on or just want to see the difference during the progress.

    I take it you don't want to cut too much of the image itself right? You just want to make it look like one of the two persons were never in the shot. Then I'd wait with the cropping til the very end, it removes quite a lot so you should be careful cropping something too early.

    Alrighty:

    First remove the lock on the image's layer, usually when you open a jpg file it'll have it's layer locked in the start - you remove that lock by doubleclicking on the layer and change the name on it to whatever you want.

    Next you can duplicate the layer - either drag it down to the blank paper icon bellow the layer window or just rightclick and choose "Duplicate Layer"

    I think that you may have to use the clone tool a lot to try and cover up the empty spot you want there. But that can turn out quite complicated the more space needs to be covered. There's also the patch tool and healing brush tool you could end up using if your program have those. It's a very long process so brace yourself. I don't know if there's better methods doing this, if so I am interested in learning.

    A golden rule to remember: Always save as a working file, go to Save As and save the filetype as the working file for your program - usually PSD should do the trick. When the image is finished you can save as a jpg if your wish.
