		| Can I clone out a small item in an image under advanced editing?  I have a corner of book showing that was suppose to be hidden by a tablecloth. It's very incidental but bugs the crap out of me. Thanks in advance. |

		Yes you can :-)) My understanding as long as it wasn't a part of the main composition it can be done, I had to do that with mine as well.. (clone my hand out and a corner piece as well) LOL

		| That sounds doable.  It doesn't sound like a "major element", or that it would change the typical viewer's perception of the photo. |

		under cloning for advanced it says you may: 
 clone out incidental power lines, twigs, dust specks, stray hairs, and similar minor imperfections within any capture used.
 
 i'd call the edge of a book a "similar minor imperfection" since the majority was under a tablecloth. |

		| you should send an inquiry to the SC with the original and cloned version and see what they say.  better to be safe than sorry. |

 Or just send us the original and say "May I clone at that book down there in the lower right corner?" |

		| alternately, if it's not going to spoil the picture due to proximity to the edge, and you are unsure about the dq, crop it out instead. |
