Welcome back to another very exciting tutorial
here at the PhotoshopTrainingChannel.com my name
is Jesus Ramirez and you can find me on instagram
@JRfromPTC In this tutorial I'm going to show
you how to work better and faster with the
Clone Stamp tool. By the way if this is your

And what we're going to do in this tutorial, is work
with the Clone Stamp Tool. As you may know
the Clone Stamp Tool to allows you to clone different
parts of an image by selecting a source point,
and then painting directly over the image
or a new layer to generate the cloned pixels.
But what I'm going to show you in this tutorial is the keyboard shortcuts to make this tool
even more powerful. OK let's get started. When
using the Clone Stamp Tool you can use keyboard
shortcuts to nudge, scale, or rotate the
sample source to better match the size and
orientation of the cloning destination. First
select the Clone Stamp Tool by pressing S
on the keyboard or selecting it directly from
the tools bar. Then you can create a new layer
make sure that sample all layers is selected
and select the area that you want to sample from.
In this case on a sample from her face
on a hold Alt Option on the Mac and click
on her face. Then you'll notice the overlay
giving us a preview of over cloning you can
hold Alt Shift that is Option Shift in the
Mac and use the arrow keys in the keyboard
to nudge the clone source left right up and
down. Notice how the preview now changes and
we can offset the clone source. You can also
rotate the clone source by holding Alt Shift that
Option Shift on the Mac and tapping on the
greater than less than brackets. Those are the same keys
as the coma and period.
So watch what happens when I hold those keys,
Alt Shift and the greater than less than keys
You rotate the sample source. You can
also adjust the scale of the sample source
by holding Alt Shift Option Shift in the Mac
and tapping on the left and right bracket
keys on the keyboard those are the keys right
next to the P. So I'm going to scale it up by tapping
the right bracket key or I can make it smaller
by holding down the left bracket key.
Then I can click start cloning and you'll see the
difference that makes. In case you want to
remember the keyboard shortcuts or you forget.
You can always go into Window, Clone Source.
And you can make the same adjustments here.
You have the width and height and rotation
and you have the offset also notice that these
adjustments are the same ones that we just
applied to the clone source so we can reset
them by clicking on this reset transform and
we can bring back the offset to 0 by simply
typing zero on both the X and Y axes. And one
advantage that this panel has is that you can save
up to five sample sources. Just click on anyone
of these sample source icons and you'll save
that sample source. Let me know in the comments
below if you found these shortcuts useful
or if you have any other useful shortcuts
that I've missed. And that's it for this tutorial
