Clone Stamp Tool

The clone stamp tool is a photoshop tool that allows you to, in affect to very quickly and easily copy one area of an image and paste it onto another area of an image. Below are a couple of images i have produced to show how well it can be used.

Here is an image of somebody's forehead with a tiny bit of eye brow in the bottom right I included for context.

These two images represent how the clone stamp tool may be used, the top image is pre-use and the lower image is after-use. Although I am using it here for portraiture work it is possible to incorporate anywhere. 

The basic controls are as explained below:

1) Select the icon as shown: 

2) Hold alt and click - to select the part of the image you would like to clone

3) let go of alt and click on the place you would like the cloned part of the image to be pasted.

Finished

However, you can improve the effectiveness of the tool by incorporating the use of brush sizes, hardness, softness and layer modes etc to tailor the results to your own needs.
