first attempt at cloning: how did i do?

[katia]

this is my first attempt at cloning out anything significant, how did i do? are there any better techniques i should have used/any tips for me with the cloning stamp?

Hi, Its very good for the first attempt, congrats

If I may suggest, try to randomize more so that we cant see patterns and repeated floor so close, also you can combine clone tool with patch tool and Healing Brush tool, for better finishing
see here patch tool
and healing brush tool

P.S. -> try to add some rocks in the cloned area and see how that works

its good but agree with the above comment, you need to be more random with your stamping, patterns and obvious duplicates are a problem that will get easier to remedy with practice

pretty good attempt - cloning can be a pain staking proces but useful a the same time. I think you may have just got a small area of the dog copied above his rear end.

I can see a few artifacts, but besides that, good work. It is hard to clone out a lot without repeating patterns.

For a first go, I think you did great. Agree with the other comments, but it will improve with practice.Play around just small areas and see how it looks.
