I am curious about cloning out dust spots. Currently when I find a dust spot, my procedure is to use the eyedropper, and then brush out the spots, but I'd imagine that cloning is much easier. I haven't figured out yet how to clone in PE, that's even if you can - I am not sure. I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on the subject! Thanks,

Tim

Choose the clone stamp, place your cursor over a clean part of the photo that matches as closely as possible to where the dust spot is, press Alt-left mouse button to sample the color, then click over the dust spot with the left mouse button.
Be careful it doesnt look too noticeable. Use healing brush the same way afterwards to touch it up properly.

The healing brush is not a feature of Elements, wish it was.
The key stroke shortcuts are S to select the clone tool, the [ button decreases the brush size and ] increases its size.
Select a brush size as near to the size of the spot as possible.
Carefully select an area with the same background as the spot should have, then alt and left click, the cursor changes to cross-hairs.
Try not to hold the left button down while moving the mouse, if you do check for repeated patterns.
If you can see where the spot was go back and try again  Wink

I use a small brush, around 10-15 pixels, to do my dust spot removal and give the entire area a good going over to make sure it's totally gone.
