I want to know how to use the clone and heal tools? I mean what to press to use? I did SHIFT KEY on both then select an area on the photo, but I see arrows and it does not clone or heal directly.

Have you watched any of the on-line tutorials? They are here. .

Hello Ali2017,

I've not been able to find a tutorial that deals specifically with the Clone/Heal tools, but it works a little like a more advanced "Smart Patch" (another tool in PhD).

Once you've opened the Clone/Heal tool, click on Clone & simply:

Adjust brush size, feather & opacity

Click on a spot you want replaced (green circle)

PhD selects what it "thinks" would be a suitable replacement (white circle). If it looks right, move on. If not, move the white circle.

Repeat the process till all spots have been selected

Click "Done" & export.

The attached screenshot shows a work in progress.
