Continue painting over the fold lines in the upper-left corner. As you paint, you will
see crosshairs representing the sampled area. Keep an eye on the crosshairs; you don't
want to introduce unwanted areas into the image.
It is not unusual to have to redei ne the clone source over and over again. You may
have to Alt/Option+click in the areas outside of the fold line repeatedly to i nd better-
matched sources for cloning. You may even i nd that you Alt/Option+click and then
paint, and then Alt/Option+click and paint again, until you conceal the fold mark.
Don't forget some of the selection techniques that you learned in Lesson 5, “Making the
Best Selections.” You can activate the edge of the area to be retouched so that you can
keep your clone stamping inside the image area and not cross into the white border.
Create selections to help you
control the cloning.
With the Clone Stamp tool, it is important to sample tonal areas that are similar to the tonal
area you are covering. Otherwise, the retouching will look very obvious.
