Painting and Retouching - Adobe Photoshop CC - page 110

9 To make the clone of the decorative border appear antique , you will make some modifications to the
Clone Stamp tool options. With the Clone Stamp tool selected, go to the Options bar and select Lumin-
osity from the Mode drop-down menu. Type 50 into the Opacity text field.
10 Select the second Clone Source icon, and then select the Show Overlay check box in the Clone Source
panel.
11 Position your cursor in the upper-left corner of the ps0505_work.psd image; you see the preview of
the decorative border. When you have the decorative corner positioned roughly in the upper-left corner,
start painting. Try to follow the swirls of the design as best you can, but don't worry about being exact.
The blending mode and opacity that you set in the Options bar helps to blend this into the original im-
age. Keep in mind that when you paint with a lighter opacity, additional painting adds to the initial opa-
city. If it helps to see the results, turn off the Show Overlay check box. Select it to turn it back on for
the remainder of this lesson.
Paint with the Clone tool. The result.
Now you will clone the third source to the upper-right corner of the image. This time, you can experi-
ment with the position of the decoration on the image.
12 Navigate to the upper-right side of the ps0505_work image and select the third Clone Source icon
from the Clone Source panel. You will now use the Clone Source panel to reposition the upper-right
corner clone source.
13 Press and hold Alt+Shift (Windows) or Option+Shift (Mac OS) and press the left, right, up, or down
arrow key on your keyboard to nudge the overlay into a better position. No specific position is required
for this lesson; simply find a location that you feel works well.
14 Once you have the clone source in position, start painting. Lightly paint the decoration into the upper-
right corner. If you feel your brush is too hard-edged, press Shift+[ (left bracket) to make it softer.
15 Choose File > Save. Keep the ps0505_work.psd file open for the next part of this lesson. Choose
Window > ps0506.psd to bring that image forward. Then choose File > Close. If asked to save
changes, select Don't Save.
Self study
Return to the ps0505_work.psd image and use a variety of retouching tools, such as the Clone Stamp,
Spot Healing, and Healing Brush tools to fix the rest of the damaged areas in the image. Also use the re-
touching tools to remove dust from the image.
