Hi. I’m a new user of Adobe Photoshop. Can someone teach me a basic tutorial with the clone stamp tool in Photoshop? I need to remove an object from a picture. What are the other functions of the clone stamp tool?
The Clone Stamp Tool is a retouching tool available in Adobe Photoshop which lets a user copy a certain area in the image and then pastes it over another area for the purpose of covering blemishes. I’ve already used it before to edit a photo of my nephew which is still a baby that time. The photo is really very cute because, of course, there is a baby in it and the only thing that bothers me is the baby’s saliva on the side of its mouth. Although it’s common for babies to have saliva drip but it really bugs me because it is very obvious in the picture.
I’m planning to upload it in Facebook so to make it a lot nicer I decided to retouch it and remove the saliva using Adobe Photoshop’s Clone Stamp Tool. The tool is really very easy to use. Open Adobe Photoshop then select the Clone Stamp Tool on the side toolbar. Before using it you need to select an area in the image first that will cover the part you want retouched. To start cloning you need to define an area first, press and hold the ALT key, select an area in the photo and then click it. After that, just click on the target area where you want to paste it.
This is the screenshot of the Clone Stamp Tool.
