the one I did earlier.
I avoid the clone tool whenever possible. I know how to use photoshop and it's a poor tool with poor results so you can imagine what i think when average joe starts trying to use it.
There are easier and more effective ways of getting the same result.

Looking at the amount of deaths I fear for the future. A whole generation of London bartenders could die.

It's all Bosnians, Serbians, Polaks and Koreans now. All the Aussies are in London serving me beer.

I haven't been to London in a while. Was the Aussie uprising recent?

# nah
West London was, until about 2 years ago, finishing school for Aussies. They filled every bar job because they were live-in positions and they needed cheap accommodation. They can't actually get a look-in for those jobs because the Poles have taken over for the same reason.

# well...it's not exactly the best tool in the box
but you get the rubber stampy thing. you select a source area you wish to duplicate (in gimp it's ctrl+ left click on area, ps i think might be alt) then you paint where you want to duplicate the colours of your source area.

there's a couple of options, you can have the source area fixed, or the source area can move the same distance and direction as your brush, while you paint.

Practice I suppose. Meh. I spend a lot of time messing about with images, but my skills remain poor. The dream is to acquire tattyshop and do some tutorials. At the moment it's paint.net, which leaves little scope for actual changes.

# yeah but bear in mind what pasa said up there^
clone tool is pretty shitty. Especially if you're trying to go for large area removal. clone tool only gives decent results over a length scale of typically a few brush diameters.

# Aye, I've found this too. What are the other options though? Copy/paste + layering?
I think I need to get used to gradient colouring to replicate certain lighting effects, because that's the killer for me in this compo.

# masking bits if you can. um, fartarsing around with colour levels.
I dunno, I don't really do image manipulation. I draw silly things on my tablet and that's that.
