Image Repair with the Clone Tool - a photo on Flickriver

This is a quick tutorial video about basic image repair using the clone tool (I am using it in the free FastStone image viewer/editor). I also use the blur tool a bit at the end.

Surprisingly, the clone tool works best when using a large brush/circle for it as opposed to a tiny one. It usually works best without zooming into the image as well.

This kind of image repair is sometimes needed when creating the kind of photo-realistic images I do with DALL-E 3. These kinds of images often result in some off-white blotches at the border of elements, and the clone tool is how I fix that.

The song in the video is my own original creation. It was not made with AI. See my soundcloud page for my music: soundcloud.com/josh-rokman
