This week’s photo tip:
I’m pulling this week’s photo tip from the archives. If you’ve never used the clone tool in photoshop or PSE then you should definitely give it a try, it’s a handy little tool! 🙂
The trick to using the clone stamp to clone out small unwanted background distractions while still retaining a photo that does not looked “cloned” is to use a soft brush when doing your stamping and adjust the opacity of your brush. A hard brush at 100% opacity will create unwanted stamp lines and will not give you a nice blended natural looking stamped area.
To use the clone stamp simply hold down the ALT key while “stamping” the area on your photo you wish to copy. Release the ALT key, move your cursor to the area on your photo you wish to stamp over and stamp. This area will now become covered over with the image that you picked up previously. Continue stamping until you have covered over the area and are happy with the results.

I like the ones you chose.
great!
Thank your for hosting the giveaway (and thanks to random.org for picking me!). What a happy day!
Thank you for this! SO helpful. It really helped with sunspots and glare that the spot healing brush couldn’t correct.
