Master the magic of PicMonkey’s Clone Tool and make stuff disappear from your photos…

PicMonkey Tutorial - Clone Tool

From photobombing heads to unwanted objects, some photographs need a little de-cluttering. The fantastic news is that PicMonkey’s robust clone tool can do an impeccable job of cleaning up your photo and putting the attention back where it deserves.

With just a bit of practice, you can become a clone tool master and make objects disappear so well no one will ever know a certain monkey helped you out.

In this PicMonkey VIDEO Tutorial, I walk you through the entire process of removing an object with the Clone Tool at PicMonkey.com, including how to use the eraser tool, fade tool, source tool, and more…

Clone Tool, Step by Step

PicMonkey’s Clone Tool is located under the EFFECTS tab. Once you are in EFFECTS, scroll down to the bottom and you will find CLONE. The Clone Tool is part of the Royal Membership features.

When using CLONE, the key to cloning quickly and effectively is paying attention to your SOURCE, the area in the green circle from which PicMonkey is cloning. Once you have selected your source, you can drag and paint away all of your problems… Oh, if only life were as easy as PicMonkey…

To make everything just perfect, you can use the ERASER tool and the FADE tool to fix any mistakes. Not that you make any mistakes of course. But I do make some once and awhile.

And ta da! You are done! Bothersome object is gone and you are a master photo editor. No photobomber can get in your way now…

Watch the VIDEO Tutorial

NOW, if you want to see that all in real time, click over and watch my PicMonkey VIDEO Tutorial, where I walk you through all of my changes and even my mistakes and erasing…

    I would love to learn how to use this. I am not always the best about seeing everything that will end up in the frame of my photo before snapping away.

      Yes, the clone feature is fabulous for wrinkles – if only I could use it in real life on my face. 🙂

      Vickie – once you get the hang of it, it is really easy. 🙂 PicMonkey is awesome – and so great cause you don’t have to download any software. You just use it online. And all the core features you can use without even paying for the (small) membership fee. So go check it out. 🙂 SO fun! picmonkey.com

      oh Barbara – so sorry! The class wasn’t canceled – a tech issue forced us to create a new event for it. Here is the link – you can watch it now on YouTube 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUHOe7-qo0M&feature=c4-overview&list=UU0S0eQ2TSD25aEXP7zGaBrg
