Is there a way to copy from one spot in the image to another? Like cloning but not using the round brush.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |
Select the area, do ctrl+c, then unselect the area, do ctrl+v. This will copy and paste the area. |

I was wondering if anyone who is not voting on the Motion Blur challenge would help me decide to do the black and white version of my shot or the color? Just send me a PM. |
Anyone?

Will the patch tool do what you want, maybe? |

Hello all I hit a nerve with a newbie in the poverty challenge, check out this comment "who would take a photo of this poor man on the streets? get a life."
I'll send them a thank you soon :) and fill them in on how things work on this site.
OH and I did mark it as helpful because it's nice to see I can stir up emotions in people with one of my shots :)
MAX! |

In the tools menu on my CS2, it's right in the same menu choice as the spot repair & red-eye tool.
It looks like a squiggly square....click on it, drag it to the spot that you want to choose, draw a chunk, hold down the mouse button, drag the chunk where you want it, then release and click the mouse button again to set the chunk.
Sometimes you can just move a chunk and it's fine, i.e., moving a hunk of leafy tree to cover a phone wire, but sometimes you'll have to use the brush tool to "paint" the area the right color first so that an extremely light/dark item doesn't bleed through your patch.
I've just recently learned how to use it and it's dangerously addictive....8>)

That's exactly what the patch tool is designed to do: go here for a quick overview.

It's your punishment for SLS (Supreme Lack of Suck)

Hey, I'd love to take credit for being a terminally funny guy, but that's an actual TS rule.
(If you refer to page 16 paragraph 3 of the Team Suck handbook, you'll see it. You DID get your TS handbook, didn't you?)

Is there a reason you would not just either do a feathered selection for the lasso tool and copy and paste? |

Don't be too rough on the guy, there are many people, myself included who have reservations about taking shots of the homeless. Granted, he should have probably just left a low score and not left a comment. Some people feel it is exploitation if it does not give back to the community (a cup of coffee or $5 really isn't giving back). Just some perspective why some people may get riled up. |

Which brings up an interesting point....should you have to redo/do another comment on a TS entry if you already have?
I always counted that as a gratis.....the once or twice it happened that I had to comment.....8>)

I understand both sides of this. However by taking a photo that shows the conditions of the homeless, I think it helps to put it in the face of those that would normally like to ignore it, and therefor maybe help get more attention to the plight of these folks and hopefully some more help. |

Like it or not, the homeless are excellent subject material for gritty, evocative shots. The situation pushes a photographer on many levels simply because all too often an accurate, well done image disturbs people.
Never back off from getting a shot you know is right for what you see or want to convey for perceived grief from a viewer later.

Not to be contrary, well maybe a bit... There is a difference between conveying a shot for an emotional level and take advantage of a situations so you can enter in a contest. Yes, there are gray lines, I'm just stating that people view it both ways. So you have to look at the pictures and determine, was this shot taken to educate the viewer or was it to fullfill a challenge requirement (of course you can do both at the same time...). It all depends what meat you want behind your photos.
While I did not enter this poverty challenge, me personally, for the next poverty challenge I will donate my time to the local "Soup Kitchen", then take a photo of those that helped server dinner once the shelter closes.
EDIT: I like to stir the pot sometimes (aka spur on thinking).

This was my reply to the comment:
Erin, Thank you for your wonderful comment with relation to my photo in the poverty challenge "who would take a photo of this poor man on the streets? get a life."
I have a life and that poor man IS ME in the photo. This is a photography web site and sometimes we as photographers will use ourselves to portray a situation that we have seen in real life.
You will find that most people on this site will do things like this all the time and get their message across.
I'm glad that my image stirred something in you and I hope it pushes you to help those who can't help themselves as I do.
This type of situation is something I see all the time and I do a lot of photography with homeless people and I have made a lot of friends doing so in the homeless community.
I'll put your mind at ease by telling you that I have NEVER taken a homeless persons photo WITH OUT ASKING FIRST.
Please don't stop commenting or asking questions of people on this site we are only to happy to help.
Again I'm NOT MAD I'm just trying to help you understand how some things work on this site. It's a great place to be.
Please feel free to visit my homeless shots, you can find them in my portfolio.
All the best to you and yours and I hope you do well with you first challenge.
MAX! |

Terrific reply, and a superb IDEA for the challenge.
That is why I try not to inject what I think about the motives of photos in comments, but just trying to address how others might feel when they see such and such picture. I just think it is important to realize not everyone thinks the same way (otherwise it would be a boring world).
Hope I didn't sound like I was standing on my soapbox. :)
Cheers. |
