Clone Selection
You may have photos which appear to be spoiled by a cluttered
background or other flaws. Fortunately, you can correctly this easily by
copying, or cloning, a section from another area of the photo over the
unwanted area.
To clone an area:
1. Select the
Clone Selection tool from the toolbar at the top
of the Adjustments tab.
Zoom in using the zoom tools at the bottom of the workspace for a
better view, if required.
2. Set the tool's Size, Opacity, and Feather, on the Adjustments
tab. Decreasing the opacity will help the cloned area blend in
with the rest of the photo.
3. Shift-click on an area of the photo to define a pickup area.
