8 With the Clone Stamp tool selected, choose Overlay from the Mode drop-down menu
in the Application bar. Then type 20 in the Opacity text box. The cloning that you do
will now be overlaid on top of the Background layer at a light opacity.
In order to get a nice, painterly feel to the text that you apply, you will make your brush
a little softer.
9 With the Clone tool selected, click on the Brush Preset arrow. It is to the right of
the Brush preview in the Application bar. Then double-click on the Soft Round 200
pixel brush.
By double-clicking on a brush, you select it and simultaneously close the Brush panel.
Select the Soft Round 200 pixel brush.
10 Using the Clone Stamp tool, lightly start brushing above the boy’s head.
Because of the pixel preview (on the cursor), it may appear that you are painting on top of the
boy’s head, but the pixels are actually being painted on the graphic layer, which is under the layer
with the image of the boy.
