__________________________________________________________

Photoshop CS3 comes with many more cloning options. In this photo, we will give this flower a ghost effect to show off the new Clone Source Tool.

2. Choose the stand healing brush. Be sure to notice that in the options bar, that the source is set to sampled. When it's set to sample, you also get a few sample options to go along with it. You can clone from your current layer, current & any below, or a composite of all layers. You can also tell Photoshop to ignore adjustment layers. I'll leave mine at degault because I only have one layer anyways.

3. Open up your Clone Source palette. If yours is not on screen, then select it from the Window menu. In this palette, you can set up multiple cloning sources. You can even clone from one image to another if you want! The first box contains the image because that is what I'm cloning from. To set another source, click on the empty box and Alt/Option Click on the image you want with t he clone tool.

4. You can scale, rotate, and adjust the opacity of your source all from within this palette. A great tip to lower your rotation value in whole degree increments withint this menu is by pressing Shiftt + Down Arrow after clicking in the box.

5. After moving the clone to the destination that I want it, I click on align in the options toolbar to set it.

Check autohide in the Clone Source palette so that you don't see the clone source when painting.

You can adjust your source by moving it along the x and y axis as well. After painting over the flower and essentially replacing it with the green in the source, you'll want to bring the image back in.

With the original flower on top, use the quick selection tool to select the flower and then inverse (Ctrl+Shift+I) and delte it. Be sure to line them up correctly and then change the blend mode to Multiply. Adjusting the Opacity will bring it in even more, but I want to be sure that I can still see through to the background. After setting the opacity valur to 20, I'm happy with my ghost flower here.
