Vanishing Point Filter 3 - Clone
(Fifth Edition, Page 139) I have completed steps 1 through 7 and obtain results consistent with the images in the book. However, after I click OK after step 7 in order to accept the changes made with the Vanishing Point filter, the position where the clone stamp was used to eliminate the graffiti image becomes much brighter than the surrounding bricks. I'm using Hard Light for the layer blending mode, as indicated in Step 5. How can I see the proper brilliance of the bricks where the graffiti image was removed and the texture of the bricks under the remaining graffiti? Fred |

Changing the mode of the graffiti layer to Hard Light allows us to see through it to the brick texture beneath, to make it appear as if it's painted straight onto the wall. When we put the wall back over the graffiti, however, we want the wall to be opaque. So make the mode of this layer Normal, otherwise the Hard Light will mean the bricks become translucent. |

Re: Vanishing Point Filter 3 - Clone
Thanks for your response. It seems that I misunderstood the instructions in the book. I thought that the purpose of the exercise was to create a resulting image showing one graffiti image eliminated by cloning so that the bricks looked normal (step 7) and simultaneously showing the brick texture under the other graffiti image (step 5). It appears that this can't be done using this method. I understand that result can be achieved by simply erasing the undesired graffiti. |
