Using clone stamp to remove veins in eyes?

oh. When u say do there cloning there, I'm not sampling from the eye but somewhere else? A bit lost on your second point

Yes, "Current and below" is the setting I meant. However, the usual workflow is to create a blank layer above your original, and do the cloning there with "Current and Below." That way, you can toggle on and off to see your progress, and can easily erase parts that don't look right, and do it over if needed.

The setting "Current and below" isn't needed if you're cloning on a single layer, as you appear to be doing. However - and this is the key point - if you've created a cloning layer as you've shown, and the *currently active layer* is the Background layer, you can clone all day and not see the results... since you're cloning on the layer underneath, which is obscured by the top layer. It's only when you toggle off the "Clone" layer to compare your progress, that you'll see the uncontrolder things you may have been doing underneath.

they are noticeabele at 100% so id like to ideally get rid if them. it is for the web uploaded at 2500 pixels. i was going to plan to clone from the white, in the eye?

I think that worked i need to press current and below. thankyou

Hi

I have attached a screenshot of my page. So far have duplicated layer, clicked on clone stamp, press option and click to sample.

Hi

Thankyou for the idea, though are veins are still there

You could reset the Clone tool to know you are using its default settings, but I personally wouldn't use the clone tool in that situation, because it is a bit too clumsy.   You could paint out the veins  with the healing brush, but what I would do is use a Hue/Saturation layer, and target the reds.

Set the saturation to zero, and move the lightness slider all the way to the right.  This cleans up the whites completely including that area of cloudy red in the upper right corner, but leaves the texture intact.

Hi

No I'm making a selection of a white area o paint over red veins in eyes (tough to see in this shot)

on mac i hold down option and click in which I'm then supposed to be able to paint, but can't

Can you post a screen shot? When you say selecting, are you making a selection of the veins then trying to clone inside that area? When you press option, are you clicking also to record the clone stamp area?

Please post which Adobe program you are using so this thread can be moved to the correct forum. This is the Non Tech Lounge forum.
