The Trick To Cloning Objects From Right Inside Lightroom

When we want to clone an object, we generally just jump over to Photoshop and do it there, but here’s a technique that will let you do simply cloning talks (like duplicating an object, or moving an object), all right within Lightroom itself. Best of all, it’s way easier than you’d think — I made a short video to show you step-by-step:

That could come in pretty handy, eh? (Especially for those of you won’t have Photoshop, or haven’t learned how awesome it is yet). 🙂

Hope you found that helpful. 🙂

I’m in Indy in about 20 days with my Lightroom Seminar
You can be there, too. Here’s the link with details. 

Have a great Wednesday – don’t forget to catch me on ‘The Grid’ today at 4 pm ET.

Best,

-Scott

    This is great — but I cannot believe how poorly LR chooses replacements for Healing and cloning when removing items. It is as if they never heard of PS.

    Great tip. The cloning tools in Lightroom is usually overlooked by my. I spend too much frustrating time in Photoshop trying to do this kind of stuff. It’s good to be reminded that Lightroom is a powerful software that offers these tools. Thank you for the info!
