I am trying to remove words from a sign on a picture I took.
As an example, I found this picture below. Given the following image, how could I remove the letters on the sign (where it says "MARINA" or "HOBURGS BANK" for example) and replace it with the background that is behind it?

I've had success with the Spot Healing Brush tool.
You just have to select a brush size that matches the height of a letter, and then click and drag over a bunch of letters. Photoshop will try to remove the black letters and replace them with the surrounding background.
Not particularly a 100% perfect solution, but that was done in 10 seconds.

I would use the clone tool on that. It would reproduce the colors and the noise that exists , making the change seamless.

… but you did a bit more :P — generally, I don't like the clone tool as much as the healing tool, because it leaves harder edges and doesn't automatically create smooth transitions. – slhck – 2011-10-23T17:04:33.743
