What is the stuff called?
Is there a nick-name for it, a real name?
What do the pros use?
What do you guys use?
Where do you buy it?
Are there reasonable substitutes, like fishing line?

Most use fishing line, like for deep sea rods. you can get like 100 lb test line.

| Invisible thread is available at any store that sells sewing notions. |

that is what we use too. depending on your shot msot of the time you don't even have to clone it out. |

Actually, there are several invisable threads for magicians... but that is not what a photographer would use. The ideas above are better. The Invisible thread is very, very fragile. Here is a few fun links if you have any interest in magic:

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_thread
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_thread
(I used to be pro-magician) |

we use just the usual sewing thread in the color of the background;
for example,  bubeltrubel used white thread here and it hadn't to be cloned out:

Along the same lines..(no pun intended)Can you clone out visible fishing wire under the advanced rules?
It says powerlines is okay. What do you think? |

Just connect it to a battery before shooting and it becomes legal. ;) |

Sure. Even when it IS visible, it's generally no more prominent than a scratch or hair. |

I know the question here was regarding Advanced editing... but I wanted to add that cloning the line out in Basic would be illegal, even though it is a very minimal edit. Remember that you can only clone out minor dust or hot pixels in Basic, so it would still be illegal to hide fishing line.

What if I have a giant dust boogie on my sensor (which I do have), would cloning that away be considered "removing minor dust"? (its on the edge of the sensor, but its HUGE).

Which can only lead us to the obvious question... what if there was a Dust Boogyman...?
If it's huge, then I would say it's no longer "minor dust," then, and would end up being illegal to clone it out. The relaxation in the rule was really meant to allow people to get rid of small specs that show up from time to time, but if it's "huge," then it's really probably time to get the ole sensor cleaned :)

Bah! Another thing to clean, house, dogs, kids, giant dust boogie -- the fun never ends! :D

What if the shot was carefully framed so that the dust speck covered the fishing line. Would you have to paint the fishing line back in after cloning out the dust speck? Who knows :P

Just like invisible tape, I don't believe it exists either.
Or no one has actually seen it, yet. :-) |

Ha! Sensor cleaned, giant boogie now somewhere deep inside my camera! (It fell off the sensor when I used the blower, but didn't fall OUT of the camera)

Another way to do this is to use modeling wire and mount whatever it is from the opposite side to the camera. The wire is usually strong enough to bend and stay in whatever shape you want and there's nothing to clone out if you do it carefully.

For this image 
I used a bamboo skewer poked into the duckie's bum and into the blue backdrop (foam board) to suspend the ducky. Then hit him from below with a water hose and that's that. Because the skewer is behind ducky, there was nothing to clone.

I have to say that I'm always much more impressed when people come up with clever methods like this one, as opposed to cloning out their "magic."

Does the battery need to show in the original before the crop to make it legal... lol
