Photoshop Clone Stamp Tool

The Photoshop tool I choose to spotlight was the clone stamp tool. The job of the clone stamp tool is to clone part of an image and use it to cover up another part of the image. In order to achieve this you have to follow these steps:

1: Select the photo you want to use and hit File, then Open.

2: Then select the clone stamp tool from the toolbar at the left, it is represented with a stamp icon.

3: At the top of the screen you now have the option to adjust brush size(this adjusts how much you can clone at once), the mode (ex. normal or darken) and the opacity.

4: Now you can selected what you want to clone. Hover the tool over the area you want to clone and hit alt-click.

5: Now you can cover whatever area you want, click using the tool, your specified area.

Some different ways you can use this tool include duplicating an image. So if you have an image that has just one camera in it, these you can use the clone stamp tool and duplicate it so there can be multiple cameras in your picture. Another way you can use this is that, say you have a background of colors and you don't want some colors to show you can use the clone stamp tool to highlight the empty background and put it over the color you don't want to show. A different way you can use this tool is you can clone stamp a feature in your picture you want to show more, over an empty background or a feature you don't like in your picture.
