Removing unwanted objects in a photo?

Have you ever taken a nice photo, but upon inspection you realised there is someone in the background, or perhaps your finger got in the way? There is a simple way to repair your photo. Introducing, the Clone Stamp Tool.

Here's how to do it:

1. Using the Clone Stamp Tool, move your mouse the area you want to 'cloned'.

 2. Alt-Click (for Window users) or Option-Click (for Mac users). You will notice that your cursor changes into a target symbol.

 3. Click and drag over the area which you want to replace. You can see that I am beginning to paint over the person who I want to be removed from the photo!

Alternatively, the Clone Stamp can be used in a different way - to reproduce images such as drawing another tree in your photo! Find out more at: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/photoshop/tool/clone.html
