Using the Rubber Stamp Tool in Photoshop

Video Transcript

My name is Dan Kallenberger. I am an instructor at a technical college teaching Visual Communications and Photoshop as well as other Adobe products. I am going to be showing you Photoshop CS2 today. We’re using the rubber stamp tool now and what we can do with the rubber stamp is found down here in the tool pallet. What we can do with this is change our brush size. I like to change my brushes to small thumbnails; I can see those a little bit better. I’m going to pick a large enough brush that I can copy one of these flowers to a different section of it. Say I like this flower over here but I’d like it over here. I don’t like the fact that this leaf might be in the way. What I can do with this is I’m holding down the ALT key on my keyboard and I click down to indicate that’s where I want to start painting when I get over to my next flower. I now start painting with it, I paint out the other section, and now I’m painting that flower over to this section. This is very powerful tool when you want to replace…You can basically use anything to replace or add things from other parts of the image over to other sections, so we need a flower over here. Let’s just add a flower by holding down ALT, clicking and going over to where we want to paint that new flower and start painting with it. Because the background looks the same we’re not really noticing a whole lot that the background is moving as well. That is rubber stamping.
