1. Removing unwanted Objects
Using the Clone Stamp and Healing Brush Continued

2. Removing Unwanted Items
Sometimes you have a great picture but there is a logo or sign that is distracting within the picture
The Clone Stamp is a great way to remove that distraction
The most important thing to recognize is that you need to clone from different areas in order to get a random and realistic clone

4. Removing Complicated Objects
Unwanted items that have complicated backgrounds take more effort to erase, but you still have the tools needed to eliminate them
Imagine we want
to remove the flag
Some will be easy
(the grass area)

5. Using the Clone Stamp
Use the healing brush the same way you would use the clone stamp
Alt-click on the area to copy, then click and drag on the area to remove
If you try to go over the
more complicated
background, it will get
all smudged

6. Selecting Before Cloning
Now we want to select the pole using your favourite selection tool (this will make it so you are only changing what is selected, not the background)
Be sure you only get the
pole, not the sky or
background

7. Use the Clone Stamp Tool
Now clone directly to the right of the pole (Alt-click) and then erase the similar coloured area on the pole)
You will need to keep sampling different areas to match the background
Play around, if you make a
mistake, press undo and
try again
Once you are finished,
press Ctrl-D to deselect

8. Using the Healing Brush
Use the Healing brush to remove the flag (the clone stamp simply copies your sample [exactly the same] where the healing brush modifies to look like your sample [similar])
Use the sky to the upper left and try to match up the colours by sampling different areas

9. The Finished Result

10. Your Assignment #1 Open the truck picture in Photoshop
In the Truck, remove all the Chevy Emblems (front grill, side of door, and wheels)
This happens in real life when companies don’t want to spend
money to endorse a
product that may be
in their ad

11. Your Assignment #2 (Challenging)
Open the Graffiti Picture in Photoshop
You are to remove the graffiti from the wall of the house without disrupting the siding lines
This will take time and
zooming in to ensure
that it doesn’t look like
it was touched up
Submit all 3 pictures (golf, truck, graffiti) by to me (place them in 1 MS Word document)
