To show you how powerful is this tool,I`ve made a photo retouching of the girl face,using only the Clone Stamp Tool. Let`s begin with the top left area.Set the sampling point by pressing Alt+Click,like in the next image.Then,click where the problem is.You`ll see that the area will be hided by the new area situated where the sampling point was.Д¬ontinue the same process for the rest of the face.I suggest you to decrease a little bit the Flow,to merge better the new cloned point with the rest of the image.I used a Flow of 70%. You may observe that there are some freckles on her face.We`ll try to make them disappear. Next we`re going to retouch a human face,hiding some undesired spots from the face.To do this,download this girl picture and load it into Photoshop. Start cloning the image by clicking and dragging in the right side of the old image.You`ll observe how the new image is revealed.For a quick finish,you may use a brush with a big master diameter(mine was 89px).Д¬ontinue the process until you get the entire image cloned. Select the Clone stamp tool from the tools box or pressing the вЂњSвЂќ key from the keyboard.Now apply the first step of the algorithm,by pressing Alt+Click inside the lens image.
