    Absolutely great! I have given up on so many pictures because I just can’t seem to get a good clean up with the clone tool.

    Is there a way to download the picture you worked on, so that I could follow along on the document?

      Not with this tutorial, Martha, but the link to the “Remove Unwanted Objects” tutorial above does have a sample file you can follow along with.

    You mention the clone stamp tool…..how about the spot healing brush with content aware capabilities?

    Excellent tutorial…another way to “clone” that seems to be even easier than a similar method I used to remove all the “tourists” I didn’t want in my photos from our trip to Italy. That was SO challenging, yet SO rewarding! Thank you!
