How to use Photoshop's cloning tool to remove things from your pictures
Photoshop wizard Bert Monroy shows you how to use Photoshop's cloning tool to remove people, places and things from your photos. Eliminate modern elements from your streetscapes to make them look old. We show you how. Plus a sneak peek into Bert Monroy's magical home studio, powered by elves.
Based on Bert's nostalgic feeling for the 1940s, today's tutorial is a blast from the past. How would you accomplish it? Pretty simple, the secret is to use Photoshop's cloning tool; a tool that is used to help retouch images. It'll help you remove any objects to your heart's content. Finish off the image off by adding a sepia tone with the Hue/Saturation command . Now, you too can reminisce by creating your own antique photo. Enjoy.
Today, Bert shows off his work studio. Currently, Bert's photoshop arsenal consist of two Wacom Cintiq tablets, an Apple 30-inch cinema display, an Epson 3800 Pro, and an Epson 9800. If you want Bert's gear, start saving.

Got to be fair though, Bert is on time restraints where I am not and can take my time. But it did teach me heaps about a tool I have hardly used in the past and in this case size does matter. LOL

The cloning tool is definitely something that takes some time and practice to master, but a powerful tool none the less. Another great episode with some valuable insights on how to create something unique using pieces from multiple images and then some time in bringing it all together. And Bert has himself a great studio there as well...me likes!

"Great vid on a hard tool for people to get a grasp on. Definitely took me some time to get the idea of how it works.
Here's one I did for a show in college, but it's objective was to restore an old pic and colorize.
*link*
took about 52-hours, in addition to the Clone tool, I used Adjustment Layers almost exclusively to colorize the pic."
Dude! I think that picture would even make Bert drop his jaw!
That was sick.
Great episode! Using the cloning tool on the bricks really helped me out! Thanks guys!

Justin316a excellent restoration job you done there. I don't think I would even consider starting something like that let alone spend 52 hours on it. But man the end result sure was worth the effort I reckon.

amazing episode! After a lot of use and practice with the clone tool I kinda understand how to use it now. I love the techniques he shows (like cloning the bricks). Great job.
