This is Ben Langhinrichs of Genii Software with a Mini-Lesson called
Clone Away
We're going to copy some of the background over parts we want to get rid of
In this case, we're going to try to get rid of that bus.
We're going to use the Perspective Clone tool to get a more natural look.
The first thing we are going to do before we use the tool
is we are going to copy that layer, just to make sure we can get back to it if we need to.
Now we go to Perspective Clone, and first we are going to modify the perspective.
I'm going to follow the line of that pavement
so that it give a sense of how it's receding into the distance.
We're going to move it up here just to change the look a little bit
so it doesn't look like it's copied.
It always look bad when the clone looks too much alike in different parts of the image.
Then I'm going to pick a brush, a soft brush, of sort of the right size
and CTRL click where I want to it to copy from
Then I go up. I can get pretty close to her head,
because I can always paint it back in if I need to from the other layer.
Let's just get rid of that bus and extend the sidewalk.
Clean away the elements
It's a soft brush so we can try to get an edge that looks natural.
And there we have it. Thank you very much.
