Clone Stamp
1. The clone stamp tool is located
on your tools panel.
If you do not see the tools panel (a
vertical set of icons), go to window>tools to bring it up. Click the clone
tool to select it.
The keyboard shortcut is (S)
2. Once you have selected the clone
stamp tool, you can set your brush options (located at the top of the screen).
Brush size and shape, opacity, flow
and blending modes can all be selected. If you want to copy an exact area you
will leave the opacity, flow and blending mode at their default settings and
only choose a brush size and shape.
3. To select the area you want to
copy from, move your mouse to the area you want to duplicate and Alt-click
(Windows) or Option-click (Mac). The cursor will change to a target. Click the
exact spot you want to start copying from.
4. Click and drag over the area you
want to replace or correct and you will see the area you selected in step 3
start to "cover" your photo. Play around with different brush
settings and try replacing different areas of your photo until you get the hang
of it.
5. It is important to pay attention
to the location of the + sign as you are covering over the area you want to
replace. If you have selected “Aligned”
in the menu bar the + sign will move as you move your brush. You may want to
reset the target from time to time.
