How to use the Clone tool to remove a telephone pole
from the background of a photo:
1. Establish a source point for the Clone tool by
holding the Shift key and clicking on an area of the
sky that you want to use to paint over the telephone
pole.
2. Adjust the brush size so the cursor (circle) is only
slightly larger than the widest part of the telephone
pole.
3. Click and hold your mouse button and carefully
paint over the telephone pole. Do not release the
mouse button until the job is done. The sky will be
cloned into place.
Click "Undo" if you make a mistake or don't like the
result.
