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.

" Out of it started. Now before actually yeah given today's in -- people wanna answers some requests a lot of people been talking about -- or asking me. What is your studio looked like how do you actually work on this -- I've mentioned one and one episode along panel that actually work on who together. So I've taken some pictures just shown to you what they look like. Here's my set up in my studio my -- tunes in TX side by side and right here is a Apple thirty inch HD. Now what I do is that I work on this one here on the left this is one actually and drawing on. The one on the right has my -- and other things that might pertain to particular application and a large monitor is purely for viewing. That's right see my and subject the thing that campaigning and I also see the work I'm working off. At a 100%. Likely here does it all through a tiny. It's -- percent whereas here and zoomed into it I tend to work on some kind of magnification is 1600%. So it's hard to see what I'm doing it relations and -- image so I have a view of under defense up on the big monitor and then I'm working on it -- seek. Down below. -- What happens -- like for something like bridge road -- bridge over here on the right doesn't take -- have. My folders and a preview and then that the topple have the contents so there's little way of using multiple moderate monitors efficiently. Now by closed down here you can see there's the studio itself. There's a workstation right here it is right work and -- that's in 3800 that I use for Europe -- test prints. There's another. Set up right here another machine which controls the rest of the printers that are in the studio. Right yours senator but to flat files web stores stuff and that they and that's in 9800. And dubbed the bathroom because got to have one goes to today. As my that you kitchen area. Doesn't really. Really kitchen but I kind of -- that would make quality whatever is necessary. So that's my studio. Maybe someday we'll think a camera crew over there and will spend all day in the studio doing stuff. Who knows -- Let's get down to what we -- here for and that's to learn Photoshop. Honestly I had this photograph of this little deli that I took in Chicago. Now how to do it want to turn this into it and -- picture that has been a long time I want to make it look like it's been a prolonged time. The gonna totally changed the look of this image. So. Right on the back of the few things that we need to do president talk that cards fairly modern so I went on the Internet I found this little car. There is little -- Perfect angle and so once all of those hello zoom in on him couldn't real close I'm real close. And that would my pen to on the -- to map and start right about here and Scott had ratings the."
" Kind of around. This car -- all the way to you know changing direction so option pull out you handle. It down here click and is that the state. Go around here going it to the vendor. Down around code here. Down. Here is that tires and pull out -- handle but on the bottom here circle. Close it off right there changed direction and get the Philippines and then -- direction go around. Kind of very -- doing this hope he's right here and go to that tire. -- This one little selection right there and this one as well. That's the shape kind of going here. Tonight with -- there and this last one. Just go in there and collect that price and pull back and we have that. Honestly show -- That talent here and what I would do -- turn -- into selection and because those path through inside the path that automatically compound that little holes. So now I can take this whole thing here and copy it over to my image here and I'm gonna take that guy and put -- position. Over the old or rather polluted new car. Right there. On top that I that. Okay from now. In the whole scene right here on the -- black paintbrush. Myself that question -- they like this. 45 here that's just gonna kinda like you paint -- I'm gonna bring -- you -- before that question about say maybe about fifty. And just throw some black down there there's a shadow from my heart rate you on the sidewalk there there had little shadow have a whole new caught. All right so now. Let's do some changes to the storefront okay that front one thing the neon sign no neon and those days right. So at least not. Everyday use -- look at my clone tool and in the background to bring down the sides might to a little bit I'm just gonna very lightly and very roughly. Just go over. This site and can't you see I'm not being extremely neat about it. Because doesn't matter we're going to really destroy this picture. So that's got a -- else there's a big one post 102 billion and a pound. We of that in the forties that that would be kind of really bad so what I would do is in the coming closer here. And equipment to do -- and take my clone tool again. And -- speaker really small piece that dollar sign that turned it into us and signed by just pulling at the bottom part there. To think that. And I hit the place where you know it's hard to see what you're doing. How well does it look so -- is -- place -- you might want to go -- there and say give -- a new window for this file. So now I have a second window -- right there I'm gonna put this one on the side. Let's move this over here tonight to see actual size. In relation to my image what I'm actually doing here. And now I see that -- and -- looks a little rough. So what I'm doing just pick up a little bit of this edge here just kind of -- that in there to say that it's right there. Okay now this -- setting nine let's take our. -- select a little. Nine here. -- that. And -- gonna copy him over. Over the seven. There -- definitely nineteen good and then I'm gonna take out my clone tool again to smaller. Analyst is clone up from here to get rid of that little pencil point there's -- in nineteen sense of course we've gotta take this guy. -- here. Get the -- nine. And I'd it and cut him over the here. And I would think this whole thing. -- hope he's right here and move that over. And I was nineteen cents that looks a little -- 299. That's no good so we're going to do is kind of clone not the dollar sign them here. -- a dollar sign okay Obama -- 29 cents. So let's just get rid of this little piece here and not take 19 it's nine right here. And copy them over. Stuff like that. So now I'm gonna Cisco and -- and disk clean up the rest is cloning area right here with clean that up and I think that sense sign and put it down here. Parents and how we change the prices from. From 292. Nineteen cents and so on so assisted the whole shebang and move them over. -- eccentric okay so now what else has happened that parking sign. Move. Parking signs in those days want to many cards so this is going there and pull back a little bit. And not regulated Parkinson. -- back a little more. All right this is fairly easy fix -- which is gonna kind of clone clone the poll -- bigger. Guy here and it's a start right there digit poll and then start painting right there. Them to -- in this whole thing out getting rid of this -- sign. And read that if you poll there now would get a smaller brush. Just paint that stuff out that'd and I am -- that good now. But also we gotta get rid of tactics. Now obviously fifties kind of plastic kind of thing right so we need to get rid of this -- pull back some more. And these lights so we gotta get rid of a lot of things that go in here and just get our how clone tool again. He decides little bigger and which is start from right here angle right across -- care that one night. Let's -- here and it's pulled from right. Here and we Cisco and and get rid of that -- nice and now. You might say only about that highlight was going to sepia -- eventually. We lose that and is -- line oh we forgot that line that's the deadline back all right so that the line back to now let's get rid of decide. But it up here get a little closer on this and start getting rid of the water. That's hold it in place so let. -- right there and has concluded that and that's -- Edge over break I think the thing a little smaller. And find this little edge ranked it click on that little corner of the brick and then click on that corner to break and start clone. These some cloning with that same tech Sony it and this corner and click great there and it salute to matching the texture of the existing brick. I'm here to window so just in an act that didn't. Care for if -- go and I would get rid of this wire. There is committed it to highlight whatever that is McCain is doing is the window and this side here and this side here. And I units and more breaks so -- click on a cornered outbreak and start. In my -- Now that's a little off let's not worry too much because we're really gonna destroy his side. That is for his whole image so don't worry about not being extremely accurate. Justice. Okay so that's that's fairly good that's clean -- this don't hear him and act. Candidates. And that and not as big guy let's finish him off at that corner -- the -- And to -- up and let it -- before. What we're gonna do pixel this -- and hide things -- blemishes it makes it really easy and usually you retouched trying to make things look good. I'm try to make things look bad. So I'm not -- might war and to hear them connect is that war. -- and now we get this little piece of brick so let's start right here in this corner and start anyway. -- And some more. Come over and which is -- this whole thing right out of existence. Can't. And is this is a little bit left. Let's start right here and start painting this. And you probably thinking to yourself right now what's -- gonna do with the missing letters. What is he gonna do with that while the panel lot of time don't probably recreate the latest but since I don't have a tremendous amount of time Clinton. Problem. I get rid of them. What -- that's gonna be. Don't want to get rid of homemade. Because that's a whole premise of that little store right we just gonna hide a little less than a part with the the it was and of parking meter. We've got to get -- and it's this is going there and finished -- off. If you have all of us who ran across. -- commuter all gone. And that's lined these up. And it's better. Throw some stuff in there and -- though -- though going to be pretty much. Invisible anyway that's -- and -- area. To -- all that. I felt. Let's pull back what are we got ready to go. So we've got rid of all that stuff so what's gonna happen now is I'm gonna go in here and I have another image. Here I've got an image has all kinds of this. Instruction on it is an antique picture deserve real empty victory in its old broken and torn and all kinds of going -- to do little to my levels here. And bring -- all of the mid tones and the dark tones so all that's left is all the damages all the cracks and bring this down. In Baghdad bring this into a war and has been this guy down and that that's looking good click okay. I cannot take this guy and bring them in to my scene back here read various. And let's put him and political. Put that -- in screen mode so now there's all the cracks to all the cracks in place now. This is where I'm gonna go in there and damage to rest that of that stuff here that it is nice crap going on here going to get my clone tool. Analysts -- currently. Currently in other words not the stuff that doesn't meet treat does that just this -- on it. Clone that broken area right -- to -- that area. Destroy that little -- right in there. And maybe this little look pick up some of these little cracks and -- on top here. And maybe this crackled through -- puppets. Who. Bogle there so that we have some nice little -- going on all over the place they're not until damaged. Another going to -- and flatness. And I'm gonna go -- tonight hue saturation. And sick color -- And color and bring into an sepia toned -- that saturation a bit like that. Had about a that. Good like that system that'll click OK now stuck to a place. So that's the one last thing on listing them going tonight canvas size here and that's increased its who say ten point five. And that's that this. We'll make this nine point 74. Price and how we have little white area around it right so that I can now pick my. Lasso tool it's been. Very roughly to a cool shape going right through here like that. And say send it to a new layer. Via cut. I said now that it had sent it over there can take a new layer and too little tiny -- system have to rotate like that. And women moved to a move it over to let the little bit. And maybe a blue. -- to -- and you get this crack. So one less touch isn't that my lasso tool and -- here. Destroyed its long strip read a question like that. -- filled with -- a kind of a creamy color. Thank you yellow. Color like that. In new -- There it is. Okay I'm gonna go to that there and we don't need the second syndicate them distracting so -- bring down -- capacity for that there. That's like that. I'm gonna go in give it a little drop shadow just the tiny drop shadow and maybe a little satin. And the -- brownish color for that -- Going -- pick kind of brownish color and of music complex contour but it of them play with the size. Just give little -- effect going through there click okay and there we have this really old. Picture of the crackles -- in Chicago the way it looked back in the 1940s. -- resulted from that.

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.

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.

In reply to Justin316a:
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.

took about 52-hours, in addition to the Clone tool, I used Adjustment Layers almost exclusively to colorize the pic.

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!

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!

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
