Im trying to remove an unwanted object in CS2. I have created a new layer. Then i have highlighted the borders and circled round the unwanted object with the magic magnetic lassoo.

When i use the clone stamp tool to sample an area next to the object and then stamp the object out. First it reduces a bit then it reveal an identical copy of the primary picture!! So i get a copy of the picture behind.

I dont know what setting is wrong on it FFS!! Or what i am doing wrong!!

SAmple pic later

Post up the pic. I don't normally bother with the layers. Just use the stamp!

here it is

LOL! Got the original? What you trying to remove?

It looks like the problem is when your moving the stamp tool, you're also moving the sample point, which is copying the face as you move over. If that makes sense

solution for this?

Use the ALT key to change the sample point, as it stays the same position from the clone tool. It's hard to explain it really.

Lol. You strangling a nephew?

 

[Justin]

Yeah what he said! You'll need to keep changing the sample point as you move the stamp further over

I did press ALT to sample. SO do i have to constantly do it?

 

[Justin]

Not constantly, just often enough to keep the sample point in the area you want

 

[Feirny]

Fairly often, as the more you move away from the sample point the more distortion you will get.
