Want to see how Photoshop's Rubber Stamp tool can help you clean up your images? Try out these steps.
Select the Rubber Stamp tool from the Toolbox.
To select the Rubber Stamp from the keyboard, press the S key.
Make sure that the Aligned box is checked in the Rubber Stamp Options bar.
This option lets you clone from relative points in your image.
Alt+click (Option+click on a Mac) on the portion of the image that you want to clone.
The point is to pick a portion of your image that blends in with areas around the blemish you want to eliminate.
After you Alt+click (Option+click on a Mac), the little upside-down triangle at the bottom of the rubber stamp cursor becomes white.
Now click or drag on the offending blemish.
No muss, no fuss; the glitch is gone.
When you click or drag with the Rubber Stamp, Photoshop displays a cross cursor along with the stamp cursor. This cross represents the clone surface, or the area that you're cloning from. As you move the mouse, the cross cursor also moves, providing a continual reference to the portion of your image that you're cloning.
If the cloned area doesn't blend in well, just choose Edit, Undo or Ctrl+Z (Command+Z on a Mac) and then Alt+click (Option+click on a Mac) in the image with the Rubber Stamp to specify a better source for your cloning. Click or drag with the tool to test out a different clone. You may have to do this several times to get it just right.
