Launchpad C, Lesson 6: Clone Tool

This clone-tool technique is very time-consuming, but the results are worth it! As you can see, the original picture has lots of extraneous people in it, and especially that little red-eyed monster behind my daughter who kept jumping into my shots at the last second. (GRRRR!)

To fix the photo, I cropped out the people on the right and a bit of the tree on the left. Then I fixed Lulu's red-eye with a paint brush; then I cloned away until the boy and the man in the background are gone, as well as the white signpost. I also used the Clone tool to fix a hole in the Christmas tree. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the top railing of the fence--it looks a bit blurry. At a large size, it's very obvious, but at a smaller size, a lot of sins are erased :)
