 Hello everybody welcome back to another Adobe Photoshop tutorial and this one I'm going to show you how to clone any body part using the clone stamp tool but I'm going to show you the correct way to do it. We make a lot of people make a mistake doing this and I'm going to show you how to use the clone source window to make sure you get it right. Now here is the original image of the Puppet Dog. He's got one eye, he's a bit of a pirate. Here is the first crack at it using the clone stamp tool. It looks pretty good I'm not going to lie but it's not correct. If I zoom in and show if I show you the correct version this is the correct version. Now what's the difference look here if you look in here if you just if this is just using the standard clone stamp tool you'll see here that the inside of the eye in this case we're doing the eye is the tear duct and the sclera of both eyes are facing the same way and if this was done correctly that left or the right eye or our left would be on the inside which is what this is. So this is actually correct let me show you how to do it the correct way starting from scratch. Okay hopefully you're following along with me first step load up your image right here I'm going to work on this puppy dog and we're going to work on his eye. Next you want to hit the S key on the keyboard or you can just go into your toolbar and grab the clone stamp tool for me oh where the heck is it it's oh there it is clone stamp tool grab that when you do that before you start doing cloning and all that stuff you want to go up to the top left here make sure that you've got a soft round brush selected in almost all cases you want a soft round brush because a hard round brush will give you hard lines which is not what you want this is a kind of a more subtle look here so there we go now you can also change the size of your brush I've selected 80 pixels but if you want a bigger size or a smaller size you can go in there and adjust it all right my dog was barking there so I had to stop for a second so here we go we've got our brush at 80 it's a soft round we've got clone stamp selected now watch this what you need to do is you need to go to window and make sure that clone source is open and what you can do here is this very rarely used panel window here it's called clone source and what you want to do is you want to in this case left click on flip horizontal the reason why is we're taking this eye and we're putting it on the other side of the dog but we want to flip it so that it's correctly inserted so to speak so make sure that that is selected now hold down the alt key on a pc option key on a mac hover over oh make sure you've got the layer selected hover over the middle of the area that you want to work on I'm going to say this eyeball I'm going to click right here left click on it and then I'm going to put it where I think it should go somewhere around looks about right what do you think right there okay now in almost all cases this is correct and you're done that said I'm going to show you one more thing here if you go ahead and grab your let's say elliptical tool in this case I'm going to grab the elliptical marquee tool watch this I'm just going to drag a little marquee over his eyeball or her eyeball and now I've got a selection made but if I hit if I hit command t on a mac or control t on a pc for transform if I got the sizing wrong you'll see here now I've got this little bounding box I can make the eye bigger or I can make them my smaller if I needed to do that so just keep that in the back of your head it is an option but there you go this is how you do it inside photoshop 2023 thanks for watching
