#clone stamp

Yes, please!

I have a very love-hate relationship with it when it comes to retouching. It is incredible to have a recipe of minor fixes that gives an ordinary image something extra. But, to get the desired result, switching between programs is frustrating and time-consuming. Capture One has made vast improvements to its software and continues its reign as the industry standard. The software could become the…

The Clone Stamp allows you to select and drag areas of an image to cover other parts. 

For this we used this image of a single tree surrounded by purple flowers.

To select the tree and create duplicates, I first made sure Sample was set to “All Layers” and then created a new layer. With the Clone Tool selected, holding down Alt I selected a part near the bottom of the tree trunk. Finding a part of purple bush that was similar in shape I placed the stamp down and was able to recreate the original tree.

Then, to remove the trees using the Clone Stamp I selected a similar looking part of the bush to the side and placed it over where the trunk and bush meets. This covered up the bottom part where the two areas meet. To cover up the rest of the tree I selected parts of the blue sky and dragged them over the leaves until I was left with a clear blue sky and no trees. 

Next, we used a larger more detailed image where we wanted to remove the pylons in the sky. Similarly, using the clone tool I kept selecting parts of the sky besides the pylons and dragging it over. To help blend so that there was not a vivid colour difference I made sure to turn the opacity level down. 

Then I moved onto removing the small bit of fence from the front of the image. Again, using the clone tool I dragged areas around the fence over, this time working with a lower opacity and smaller brush to get the smaller details. 

The final results shows no fence.

指尖末端作為抹除的端點，仿製作為無限的路徑依賴

⼯具使⽤上，仿製印章、推移（指尖工具）都是作為不斷追求影像完美無瑕疵之⼯具，但對我來說猶如⾝體延伸去握到的虛擬⼯具。使⽤時，仿製給予的即是依賴著本來原有影像的部分去製造新的痕跡（摩擦），推移（指尖⼯具）同樣的推移著原影像之質地去留下新的痕跡。

我試圖以這兩種⼯具作為思考去對應，並區分為由外向內的三層。

1.

外部以媒材之耐久、耐磨與公共性；並可不斷的使用的pvc塑膠地板，以一種工業自動紋理去構成不同系列風格，『雲彩系列』作為具有許多視覺對應的聯想。由於它本身的紋理，大量有關人及物的摩擦痕跡，是看不見的。

魔鬼氈平面推移複健，動作與力量不斷地重複於桌面，但非只有單個人的作用影響，複健室具備著複健器材協助複健者們。

2.中部的位置以塗抹（指尖工具）及仿製印章之軟體工具，作為我的身體延伸部分。留下痕跡之作用力及過程，會停在工具給予作用力的當下，留下圖層的表層標記檔案。

3.內部以白板與白板筆標記，一抹即逝之狀態，陳述著白板（物）與人（內在）之連結。

作⽤於物件上的意義通常是缺席的，永遠的可見裡，總是永遠的缺席。

The end is used as the point of removal, stamp as the reliance for infinite paths

In terms of tool usage, stamps and smudge tool are used in pursuit of the perfect image but for me, it felt like reaching out to virtual tools. In usage, the stamp tool relies on parts of the original image to create new prints (abrasion). Likewise, the smudge tool also smudges part of the original image to create new prints.

I tried to respond using these two tools as trails of thought and is divided into three layers from outer to inner.

1.The exterior utilizes the durability, wear resistance and publicness of mixed media for repeated usage of pvc plastic. It uses industrial automated texture to construct different series style. The “Cloud Color Series” has many visual response associations. Due to its texture a lot of human and object friction prints are not visible.

The Velcro moves on a flat surface with rehabilitation, the movement and power repeats itself on the surface of the table. It is not merely affected by one individual; the rehabilitation unit has the apparatus to help the users.

2.The middle uses smudge and stamp software tools as extensions of my body. The tractive force and process of the leaving prints, will stay in the state where the tools provide force; leaving behind surface markings of the picture.

3.The interior uses the whiteboard and markers to leave markings. Being gone with a single swipe, describes the connection between the whiteboard (object) and people (inner).

Krishna, illustration, explores photo retouching tools in Photoshop for a class project in "Photo Restoration"

Over the past couple of weeks I had been working on a project for my Computer Graphics I class. It involved restoring an old, kind of destroyed photograph using features in Photoshop. The goal of this photo restoration piece was to show some of the many amazing uses of Photoshop. Here’s my original image. When I began this project, I had to start by scanning the photo into the computer. I…
