If we already have selected a clone source but want to define a new one, we can either click on the Clone Source Button on the Tool Options Bar or hold the Option key while clicking on the new clone source.
Asking us to click on an area we want to define as the clone source. If we haven't selected a clone source yet the mouse pointer will look like the mouse pointer in the image below. The first thing the Clone Stamp Tool wants to know is what part of the image we want to clone from. In most cases you want to use the Normal Blending Mode and 1 00% Opacity. You see that we also can change the Blending mode and the Opacity of the brush on the Tool Options Bar. In most cases you would want to use a similar brush as we had chosen for the Healing Tool. Step 2Ĭlick on the Brush Palette Button to choose a suitable brush from the Brushes Palette. The Use Same Offset for Each Stroke option makes sure that the clone source we choose will always be at the same distance from our clone brush. Click on the Gear Icon in the Tool Options Bar and make sure that Sample All Layers and Use Same Offset for Each Stroke are activated. Select the Clone Stamp Tool from the Tools Palette. We need the Clone Stamp tool to tell Pixelmator what area to use to cover the waves from the boat. If we would try to remove the waves made by one of the boats with the Healing Tool we would notice that the Healing Tool will try to use the surrounding waves to cover the area we want to clean up, but fails to create a seamless pattern. The Clone Stamp Tool is the ideal tool for removing more complicated areas from an image. Choose Heal Selection from the drop down menu. Then go back to the Healing Tool and click on the Gear Icon on the Tool Options Bar. Use one of the Marquee Tools to make a selection around the other boat. The Healing Tool can also heal selections. In our case we click once with the brush on top of one of the boats. Make sure you have the blank top layer selected and start painting with the brush over the area you want to clean up. Zooming in will make it much easier to work more precise and detailed. Use the Zoom Tool or the key-combination Cmd-+ to zoom in on the area we want to work on. In our example, I use a small brush size that will cover the boats in the image with one click. The diameter depends on how large the area is you want to use the Healing Tool on. Normally, you would want to use a regular round soft brush.
Click on the Brush Palette button on the Tool Options Bar to open the Brushes Palette. The Healing Tool uses a brush for painting over parts of the image we want to clean up. This will make sure that the healing tool samples from the original image while working on the new blank layer. Click on the Gear Icon on the Tool Options Bar and choose Sample All Layers. After adding a new layer, we are ready to select the Healing Tool from the Tools Palette. Before we start editing our image, you might want to apply your edits on a new blank layer so your original image stays untouched. It is perfect for removing small spots from an image, like the two small boats. The Healing Tool is the easiest tool to use for cleaning up your images. Finally, there is a landmass at the to disturbing the ocean view. One of the boats has made waves in the water that we need to remove, as well. In our example image there are two small boats we can remove. Let's examine the scene to see which elements are distracting and can be removed. In my example I have chosen an image of some beautiful scenery from Greece. Open the image ( File > Open.) that you would like to remove some objects from.
