Hi everbuddy. Hey, when using the cloning tool in ps, is it better to use a small brush or as big as possible? ...and any other good tips you may have about cloning.
THANX :-)

| If you're trying to remove small distractions, you should use a brush just slightly bigger than the thing you're trying to remove. Also, instead of using 'normal mode' try using darken to get rid of hot pixels, and lighten to get rid of dark specks. |

I wouldn't use a brush any larger than you have to. Also I think an important thing to remember when using the cloning, healing or other tools to touch up, it is a good idea to zoom in a far as you can and minimize the work area thus making the work less obvious. On some shots I have worked with I zoomed in to the actual pixel mode or etc.
On this shot of a giraffe taking cover in a hard rain, I removed and tree branch that was hanging right across the front side of the giraffe and a blacktop road behind the giraffe.

Konador's advice on "speck removal" is, pardon the pun, spot on. In other cases where major cloning work is needed on areas containing detail, I try to use as large a brush as I can at first, and finish with smaller size.
I also agree that you should do cloning work at the highest practical magnification, and review progress at 100% (actual pixels) often.
