Is Clone Stamp Tool Dead? - Photoshop

Discover 5 reasons why the Clone Stamp Tool in Photoshop is far from dead! In this video, we will explore scenarios where only the Clone Stamp Tool can save the day. With the recent introduction of AI-powered tools like the Remove Tool, Generative Fill, or even the Content-Aware Fill, the Clone Stamp Tool may seem obsolete, but it gives one thing which no other tool can - manual control. How useful is this control? Let's find out in this lesson. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

I am a longtime photoshop user and think your videos are terrific. Rotate the clone stamp tool - saving me hours of work thank you. Your videos are great in clarity of presentation, thoroughness and clarity of demonstration. A+++++

[@kenoun1764]

I have used photoshop for years and considered myself very knowledgeable in it, but every time i watch your video, it seem like i’m still a beginner. I always learn new things with your videos.

[@DranixSoilDust]

You are not alone

[@peterburns9147]

I never knew you could rotate the cloned brush 🤯 Wish I'd found out sooner 😄

[@MrMairu555]

Oh! I use the Clone Stamp tool a lot, and never knew I could rotate the sample! Superb tip! Thank you!

[@MikeJovani]

I've been using photoshop for 20 years and barely learned of the rotate trick. Always more to learn. Thank you!

[@stephanieamare]

The clone stamp tool is probably one of the most used by anyone doing virtual photography in virtual worlds such as Second Life, like myself. You run into so many issues where 3D meshes/models and textures will intersect--cause "clipping". So it's often part of the process to clean it up.

[@scotthannan8669]

So people are still using second life you’re saying

[@stephanieamare]

@@scotthannan8669 - Pretty much. There are certain communities especially on Flickr, and there is a virtual photography category for it. There was especially a new surge of users with the pandemic. But the company behind it, Linden Lab, are also investing in a mobile app too--as well as various other things in a push to make things easier, and more accessible--and I guess bring more people in.

[@marklutnes935]

From this video I learned some things I didn't know about the Clone Tool. And as a bonus, we got a new memorable quote: "Grand-daddy still has game." I'll repeat that to myself every time I grab the Clone Tool. Thank you for making me fall in love with the Clone Tool all over again.

[@mshoaibyaseen8010]

its been 7 years now since i'm learning photoshop. everytime i come to this channel, it makes me learn something new

[@chetanshirsalkar9956]

I use this tool often and it makes my work easy. Someone need it or someone don't it's only difference...Its totally depend upon your work type...thanks for great video as always Unmesh sir

[@shabeehaider7459]

I must express my admiration for the thumbnail you have crafted for this video. It exudes a captivating allure. I cannot help but wonder if you harnessed the power of AI to manifest such a remarkable creation

I must say, thank you for getting the answer out of the way early. It shows that you care about the viewer and their time.

[@kwiiin_]

I want to tell you my previous work space was so astonished by your work we introduced a biweekly session for graphic design tips- and your videos are usually within.

[@meta7gear]

Wow never knew about the rotating option for clone stamp tool

[@AlexGritsenko]

Excellent tips. You are well done. Please tell us more about the "Smart Sharpen" filter.

[@HeatherCashArt]

I never realized you could rotate the clone stamp tool! 🤦‍♀️ There have been so many times when I need to rotate so I just copy/paste and rotate it instead. I'm so excited to know this now!

[@qccanales8610]

agree, sometines connecting lines are not fixed properly... dont know why sometimes it does work snd sometimes it does not.

[@Psychopatz]

Your tutorials are far cry from others, you always teach us not just what is in the title but also other things, Super thanks sir!

[@betodeth]

I love the way you explain PIX, thank you!

[@msn10022]

God, the way you speak/convey the information amazed me every time! You can be a great teacher.

[@jimpurcell]

Thanks. Love the rotate sample technique!!!

[@kevcleaver]

learnt so much in a short video using select ions is something I always forget about to protect an area

[@WebFanNY]

I stopped used the clone stamp when I discovered the Spot Removal tool to fix errors to make corrections faster on facial issues. And since I started using Beta I replaced the Spot Removal for the Spot Healing tool. It's a musical chairs game every few months. But with Midjourney, I ended going back to the Clone Stamp tool to correct those 'extra fingers' the AI makes, especially the one replicated the most, the finger in between the pinky and the middle one. Please consider making a how-to correct AI extra fingers video, it's difficult to remove and match the extra knuckles spacing when correcting fingers with the clone stamp tool.

[@Boxofcare666]

When doing art needs actual skill 🤔

[@SantoValentino]

Use stable diffusion and run the badhands negative prompts. Wait… it doesn’t work all the time. No programs can really do hands right all the time. Maybe SDXL will be more accurate

[@WebFanNY]

We need a new tool in Photoshop, the Orthopedic doctor removal stamp for extra fingers created in AI.

[@DigitalYarbs]

For my art I take a photograph of a real hand at the correct lighting and blend it in.

[@ddphotograph]

Your teaching is superb, you are so clever and knowledegable, its so refreshing watching your videos. Interestingly what do i get if i join?

[@HowieD1975]

I liked that keyboard short cut for changing the angle of the clone stamp tool… that was CHERRY!!!!

Honestly I love the clone stamp tool it saves me time and with the new ai option not doin its job most of the time I always use this tool!

I love the clone stamp. I use it all the time. It always works when nothing else will. Halos with clone stamp blend mode for example.

Love you brother... you are amazing... you helped me improved my photoshp skills

[@charlesdominicpacanos6467]

Hi Unmesh. I'm Charles from the Philippines. I really appreciate all your video tutorials in Photoshop. It really helped me learn a lot of things in editing photos. Thanks a lot! But may I ask if you can do tutorials on Adobe Illustrator as well? It will mean the world to me. Thanks again!

FIRST COMMENT!! I watched your videos for 4 Years now, Your growth is amazing, Massive fan!!!! (also my man is BASED!!!!)

[@sclogse1]

It's the little things like selecting overlay that help me. I never use it. I only use normal and learned to select screen when adding rain or snow in a video or animation. Of course It's also better to clone details at less than 100% and build it up. There are always 5 ways to do something in Photoshop.

Hi sir! I really loved you're videos! Can you make a video on how to to restore old photos? hehe, Thanks a lot sir!

[@ktjankabar]

I frequently use the clone stamp tool, for some of the very reasons you demonstrated.

[@lensbrew]

Hi Unmesh. Thank you for all the tips. I was wondering if there were any tools or elements you have used to make the thumbnail of this video. It is very interesting and would love to see the process and learn. It is the coolest composite (in my humble opinion)!

[@kozdavekoz]

Thanks! Great tricks I can use. I'm on a PC, when i hold alt-shift-bracket, it just bonks the bell. Alt-shift_ arrow keys will move the preview. What am I missing?

[@MsPakito16]

I just found that on my keyboard it works with keys witch are on the right side of the key "m". Hope it will help.

Watching video literally while using clone stamp tool to clean up generative fill. Nah I think it'll still be needed, just not for everything

[@syashigupta]

Why not use the history brush to revive the old areas you don't want changed? Thoughts?

[@rayzalaf8988]

I tried to use generative fill on an insect eye and apparently " fly compound eye", breaks the guidelines???? I used the clone stamp instead.

[@fotticelli]

In high-end retouching clone stamp is still the most used tool. The other automated tools are good for quick and dirty jobs but when you have to render texture and feel in different resolutions nothing else will do. The content aware fill tool provided minutes of entertainment and enjoyment but it's still pretty useless. Even the good old healing patch and stamp tools work only part of the time. They leave artifacts that have to be cleaned up.

[@ozgurcatal9929]

10.32 what is angle bracket key. I cant change angle on stump

[@BibhatsuKuiri]

but this can be easily addressed by future version of firefly isnt ? like "fix the halo in the image" prompt ?

[@TheFlashyWeasel]

I still use it-and will continue to do so until they replace it with something better.
