Thank you so much for asking this question! In the past I would have cloned on a new layer in small steps and used the transform tool to nudge into place. However, I just searched for a solution and found two excellent videos by one of my favorite youtube instructors. The first should answer your question and the second is an in-depth look at the clone tool. Other members may have some additional suggestions for you to try. It also might be helpful to share the image you need help with. First to check out.A more in-depth look. |

Helen - that was an excellent tutorial - it's amazing how much I still don't know after spending 15 years with this software.

I agree, Janice. I find something that works for me and then tend to go with that rather than look for a different approach.

When I click the second link, I just get a duplicate of this page ; I have tried it several times and always get a duplicate. Thanks so much. |

Thanks, BuckSkin. I thought I had checked the links. That bounce back thing happens to me often as well! I just edited the post adding the link again. He goes by PiXimperfect |

As long as you know how to use the clone stamp to and adjust the angle - it should be very straight forward. Typed an E created the other three with the clone stamp tool.  |

I figure one could "freehand" the angle of a clone to get it to line up, like the guy in the video did with the necklace on the subject. Considering your "Es", is there a setting to force the result to be at a perfect 90* or 180* ? |

As the question was asked about Photoshop - not elements - yes there is.  |

I will add this about following videos by the PiXimperfect guy, or just about any machine-gun talking video host, when I try to follow the video in as-delivered speed, although I strain my ears and listen as closely as I can, he is just talking much faster than my ears can keep up with. I finally stumbled upon a remedy a few months ago = click on the "settings" icon and click on "speed" ; you will get a box with pre-determined speed choices; 0.75 being the next slowest from normal. In that speed box, click on "Custom" and a slide bar will appear; for this guy, 0.85 is about right for me. I have used as slow as 0.50 or lower for some videos, just to have a fighting chance of understanding what they are saying. If anyone has trouble keeping up with the rapid-fire talkers, try slowing things down and see if it isn't much better. |

Awesome tutorial , PixmPerfect, defo has a great way of explaining things, very easy to follow, some of the terms he uses are unknown to me, have to make a note of them and research after. Can’t afford to join his channel @ £5 month, I assume joining the channel gives access to more tutorials than otherwise available? But will have a look and see if there are any more he does I can try. Best way of learning PS is having an image with a tutorial explaining the process step by step, so I could actually do it start to finish, but think that sort of tutorial is the sort that is paid for, will just have to learn slower. Have repaired some old B&W photos, with great success, with my very limited knowledge of PS. Thank you for pointing me in this direction.

So glad you found his videos helpful. You don't have to subscribe to have access to the many tutorials he has created. If you click his name under the video you will see a whole plethora of videos available. |
