access the Clone Brush tool in EMC 9
and 10, click on the Tools
tab and then on Clone Brush. |
The
Clone Brush tool in PhotoSuite
lets you "remove" objects from,
or move objects around within, an image
by copying pixels from one area in an image
to another. You aren't actually removing
anything from an image, instead you are
covering things up by moving parts of the
image around.
In
Creator 2009 PhotoSuite, open an image and
select the Change Objects
tab in the Center, and click on Clone Brush.
Notice that the pointer turns into a crosshair.
To "remove" an object, cover it
up with another part of the image:
Click
on the area that you want to be cloned onto
another part of your image. Clicking the
area that you want to be cloned tells PhotoSuite
where you want the cloning to come from.
Line up the crosshair, if you can, on a
vertical or horizontal edge so that you
have a reference point when you move the
cursor to cover up another part of your
image.
Leave
enough room on either side of where you
click so that you can take enough pixels
to clone, but not so many that you are taking
too much from the area that you will have
to clone over later. These settings work
pretty well for simple cloning (but experiment
depending on what you are doing):
Size:
50
Transparency: 0
Edge
Fading: 50
By clicking the area to be cloned, you set
the spot from where the clone will begin.
If you need to set a new spot, click the
Reset Start Point button. If you make a
mistake, click the Undo arrow. Once you
click the Reset Start Point, you can begin
cloning.
Click
on the area where you want to put the clone
and drag until you have as much of the area
cloned as you want. Zoom in to make sure
you are only cloning where you want there
to be cloning. You can resize your brush
to get into smaller areas.
If
you overshoot an area, just reset the Start
Point by clicking the Reset Start Point
button, and click in another spot to cover
it up.
Click
OK to save the changes
and continue editing as usual.
