Tutorial: AKVIS Stamp

Restoration of a colonnade

In the following example we are going to "restore" an ancient building. We will add one more statue to the image of the colonnade.

• Step 1. Open the image in your photo editor.
  
• Step 2. Select the plugin AKVIS Stamp. In Adobe Photoshop, you should select the menu item Filter - AKVIS - Stamp, in Jasc Paint Shop Pro - the menu item Effects - Plugins- AKVIS - Stamp; and in Corel PHOTO-PAINT - Effects - AKVIS - Stamp.
• Step 3. Select the Stamp tool from the Toolbar pressing the button and adjust the size of the stamp.
• Step 4. Activate the check box Aligned so that every time you apply the stamp the patterns are taken in sequence concerning the source point.
• Step 5. We will clone the third statue on the right. Press the ALT key (Option in Macintosh) and use the mouse cursor to set the source point for cloning in the base of the statue.
  
• Step 6. Move the cursor to the point of the image where you want to put the statue and clone it by one stroke. Never mind if you do not clone the statue in one step; as the check box Aligned is activated you can proceed with cloning where you have stopped.
  
• Step 7. As soon as you complete the cloning of the statue and release the mouse button, AKVIS Stamp processes the image adjusting the color range and lightness of the cloned statue.
• Step 8. Press the button in the control panel of the program to apply the result of the plugin application and close the program window.
