6 Mastering Photoshop's Clone Stamp Tool

Step 1: open an image.

Step 2: To zoom-in, select the Zoom tool near the bottom-right of the toolbar (you can press the 'Z' key to do so) and then click-and-drag around the area that you what to work on. You can see if figure 28.5 that I've zoomed-in on the area with the leash.

|figure 28.6 |

Step 3: Select the Clone Stamp tool (in Photoshop CS2 it's the fifth icon down on the left in the toolbar). With the Clone Stamp tool selected, take a look at the available options. The options (see figure 28.6) can be found just below the main menu.

The first icon from the left enables access to any previously stored presets. Next you'll find an icon that enables you to select a brush size and hardness. You can also set the Mode, the Opacity, and the Flow. Finally, you can set the "Aligned" and "Sample All Layers" options. Between the Flow and Aligned options, you can also set the brush so that it behaves like an airbrush.

For now, we'll only be concerned with setting the brush. To follow along, though, make sure that the Aligned option has a checkmark next to it, that the Mode is set to Normal, and that the Opacity and Flow are both set to 100%.

Step 4: Click the Brush icon and set the size (Master Diameter) of the brush so that it approximates the size of the object (in this case the leash) that you want to clone over. With the brush set, it's time to begin. Position the mouse near the leash, but not touching it, and hold down the ALT key. Doing so will change the appearance of the cursor as seen in figure 28.8. Click the mouse to set the "source" area. The source area is where the image data will be copied from, i.e. where you click will be the starting point for the source.

Step 5: Move the cursor over the leash and click-and-drag to copy some of the grass over the leash (see figure 28.9) and watch the leash disappear.
