While still on the topic of healing and repairing images, we were introduced to the clone stamp tool. Our first use of the tool was with something simple, for example cloning the flower. You option + click somewhere on the image, then drag out the basically paste it elsewhere. Now duplicating a flower is easy enough, but I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to put a finger on a hand that was missing a finger. The first step is to duplicate the image. Then after that, we would make a completely new layer, that way we are working non-destructively. We could then begin the healing process. The first tool I used was the clone stamp tool. I put my source on the middle finger, as it would seem more natural being the finger right next to the missing one. I would then drag over the missing finger. Doing this would put a finger in the missing spot. But simply dragging over the area was not enough, as it did not look real at all. This is where I used the healing brush tool, to blend the skin and make it look more natural. After blending the skin however, there was still a flaw, as the stump before, is wider than the finger itself. This is where I went to edit, transform, and chose scale and skew. It was really a case of trial and error. Eventually, with the finger in its' place, the skin blended, and the finger dragged out to proportion, we get the final result. I used a combination of the clone stamp tool, the healing brush tool, and a series of transforming options. This project was one of the more intense ones, as it wasn't a simple "1, 2, 3".
