Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Digital photo
- Adobe Photoshop
-
Step 1
Open the photo in Photoshop by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Open With" and then "Photoshop." Or if already in Photoshop, go to "File, then "Open" and select the photo from your computer.
-
Step 2
Create a duplicate layer of the original layer. Drag the layer you want to copy to the new layer icon on the "Layers Palette." Or copy a layer by right-clicking on it and selecting "Duplicate Layer." Work only on the duplicate layer.
-
Step 3
Select the rubber stamp tool from the tool shortcut menu.
-
Step 4
Decide on your brush size. Soft-edge brushes are great to use with the rubber stamp tool because the correction is diffused with the softer border. Experiment with different brushes to determine what works best for the look you desire.
-
Step 5
Place your cursor over the area you want to stamp elsewhere on your photo. If you want to cover a blemish then select an area of blemish-free skin. Zoom in on the photo to enlarge the area on which you're working.
-
Step 6
Hold down the "ALT" key, and click the area you selected to copy.
-
Step 7
Release the "ALT" key, and move your cursor over the area you want to hide. Click your left mouse button to stamp once. Continue to stamp until you are satisfied with the results.
-
Step 8
Change your brush size and shape if needed by using the bracket keys on your keyboard ("[" and "]"). You can easily decrease or increase the size of your brush using the keyboard shortcut.
-
Step 9
Resize your photo and toggle the layers to view the before and after photo. If you are happy with your edits then save your retouched photo under a new name so you still have the original photo.
