How to Use Clone Stamp in Photoshop?

Open your image in Photoshop

Select the Clone Stamp Tool from the toolbar

Adjust the brush size, hardness, and opacity in the options bar

Hold Alt on Windows or Option on Mac and click the source area to sample

Release the key and paint over the area you want to clone

Resample from different areas as needed to match texture and tone

Use a soft brush for blending and a harder brush for edges

Lower opacity for subtle corrections

Use aligned sampling if you want the source to move with your brush

Use non-aligned sampling if you want the source to reset each time you sample

Work on a new blank layer when possible

Enable Sample All Layers if cloning from the composite image

Zoom in for precise retouching

Re-sample often to avoid obvious repeating patterns

Save your work regularly
