If you have been wondering what the clone stamp is used for, I will show you what can be done with this useful tool. I am specifically talking about the Paint.net, free graphic program in this tutorial.
I have used Paint.net to create my designs for selling at my Zazzle stores, but I will admit that I am still learning about all the tools available in the program and recently I discovered a very helpful way to fix and repair a picture or photo using the clone stamp.
It's also very easy to do, once you know how. On this page I will show you in a picture tutorial how to use it to remove an unwanted part of a photograph.
Do you ever use the clone stamp?
Not yet, but thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you for the tutorial Pam. It reminds me that I need to learn how to use paint.net
It works the same in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I use the clone all the time. Once I was asked to remove a bucket that looked like it was growing from someone's head. It actually was hanging behind the guy on a barn wall. I removed the bucket by cloning the wall. My boss was amazed. She asked me how I knew what was behind the bucket! HA.
Amazing!! Not just the way you did it. But the level of perfection that you managed to achieve. I've cloned using Photoshop before (Not that I was good) never tried it on this software yet, as I've just got it. But, there's absolutely no trace of the brown wire or line. Seems so real.
Thank you Katie, I am always trying to learn new things which will help in the area of design. It's a must to keep improving.
WOW you're amazing, just think about how far you've come and what you've mastered. You are such an inspiration to me. I've been taking pictures, having fun, and uploading them just for Zazzle. I've been learning myself and fell I soon will create a few products. It's amazing what you can do there at Zazzle, I think I'm getting the bug... As always I appreciate your helpful insights and tutorials, these are priceless.
I've never actually used the clone stamp - I use Gimp and I assume it's in there too because that's quite a powerful photo/drawing package. I don't do much touching up or manipulation of photos but you've inspired me.
Very useful technique! I can see how many photos could be improved by using this tool.
I have been playing around with the clone stamp for a few months now and it is great. It is amazing what you can do with it when you practise.
Thank you ohcaroline for the feedback. The clone stamp takes a little getting used to, but it can really be a big help.
