Bill Rosener: Hello! So, Doctor Bell, welcome back in this video you learn how to clone an image. Imagine we've got the image over here on the left. We've got kind of flowers. We've got marigolds, and we've got 2 that are kind of in full bloom. Let's imagine we want to have like 4 blossoms instead of just 2. And that's what we're doing in this video. So the 1st step for you 1st step you want to do is press on assignment 13
Bill Rosener: folder, and you're going to save the image flower dot. Jpeg.
Bill Rosener: I've already got this image saved and loaded in adobe photoshop. So I'm ready to go.
Bill Rosener: Okay. So this is actually a very simple process to do this, I'm just going to use the cloning stamp tool.
Bill Rosener: And you probably want to come up here and let's go ahead, and
Bill Rosener: I'm going to set the size to 100 pixels and the hardness to 65, and then maybe here in a second I'll show you why I set that hardness at 65.
Bill Rosener: Okay, all I need to do, if I want to clone it
Bill Rosener: is position. My cursor over the the part of the image I want to clone. I'm going to hold the Alt button down on the keyboard, and a regular left click.
Bill Rosener: hold the Alt button down and left. Click! You can actually take your hands off the keyboard. I'm now going to come right over here and just kind of drag out. And if we look back over on the right, we can see that crosshairs. And that's where I'm grabbing the pixels from.
Bill Rosener: Okay, and that doesn't look too bad. There.
Bill Rosener: let me show you why I changed the hardness there, and I'm just gonna hit that control z to undo that.
Bill Rosener: and had hardness been set to 100.
Bill Rosener: And now, if I went ahead and clone this.
Bill Rosener: you can kind of see right away. I'm getting these really sharp edges, and I kind of want to be more of a graceful.
Bill Rosener: So now and do that, and again,
Bill Rosener: And we can include that. But let's assume. I wanted to get some color variation in here as well. Not just the exact same blossom there to do that. I'm going to go ahead and press on
Bill Rosener: the little plus down here on the create new layer icon that little plus
Bill Rosener: that's gonna create a blank layer.
Bill Rosener: I'm now again. I've still got my
Bill Rosener: and cloning stamp tools, my active layer. I now need to highlight the background.
Bill Rosener: and I'm going to position my cursor over the flower. Hold the alt. But down and click, hold the alt button down and click.
Bill Rosener: Now I'm going to come up here to layer one.
Bill Rosener: and I'm going to press and
Bill Rosener: whoops. Let me go ahead and
Bill Rosener: get that some
Bill Rosener: hardness decreased a little bit. There.
Bill Rosener: Okay, repeat that
Bill Rosener: highlight, the background.
Bill Rosener: I'll click.
Bill Rosener: Now, come up to layer one, and I'm gonna go ahead and drag out that flower.
Bill Rosener: I clone.
Bill Rosener: Okay, okay. Now, this is on its own layer. So what I can do is now. I can use the move tool.
Bill Rosener: and I can move this wherever I want.
Bill Rosener: and what you might even want to do is
Bill Rosener: go ahead and change the color a little bit, and let you kind of play around with that. But what you could do is come up here to image adjustments and definitely like the huge saturation.
Bill Rosener: Even the exposure will do it that can even use the curves and maybe slightly
Bill Rosener: tweak it a little bit. There. I'm gonna add a little makeup just a little bit different there.
Bill Rosener: Okay, since it's on its own layer. I can even come up here to edit. I can go to transform, and I can come up here to scale.
Bill Rosener: And now what I can do is resize this a little bit, so it's not identical.
Bill Rosener: I could even come up here to edit, transform, and rotate.
Bill Rosener: and maybe rotate it a little bit. Just so it's not perfectly identical to this other one. There.
Bill Rosener: Okay? And again, since it's on its own layer, I can reposition this wherever I want.
Bill Rosener: Okay, let's go and see what the AI is capable of doing. So I'm just gonna come up here to
Bill Rosener: Make sure I'm on the the background. 1st of all.
Bill Rosener: window
Bill Rosener: contextual task bar.
Bill Rosener: I'm just going to go ahead and use the rectangle marquee highlighted area where I want to insert it.
Bill Rosener: I'm gonna come right down here on the generative fill, and I'll type in something like them. Insert
Bill Rosener: and orange
Bill Rosener: marigold
Bill Rosener: blossom.
Bill Rosener: and let's see what pops up there.
Bill Rosener: and there we go, so maybe I could take a look at this one here.
Bill Rosener: and not too bad. So anyway, a couple of ways of
Bill Rosener: you know, cloning an image. The 1st was using the cloning stamp tool, and then.
Bill Rosener: if I wanted to, I could use AI and I generated this image right here. The final step would be to save this.
Bill Rosener: And this was assignment 13. So just come right up here to file.
Bill Rosener: save a copy, and this one I would probably save as a Jpeg, so I would just simply
Bill Rosener: give this the name
Bill Rosener: assignment 13 and Jpeg and save there.
Bill Rosener: And I'll just hit 6 and hit okay on the quality. But hopefully, in this video, you learned how to clone an image, both kind of the old approach and also using AI, and I'll catch next video. Thanks a lot.
