Cloning and Water Marks

This week I purposely took a photo I knew I wanted to edit:
 
As you can see, there is a little black Solar dog in the lower right hand corner. I took the photo, knowing I was going to clone the grass to cover the solar dog.
Here are the results:

 
Next I added text to a few more photos I took. I liked this Cloud, because I thought it looked like a dragon. I used a tripod to take this photo, hoping it would be clearer than trying to capture it by hand.
 

I wrote the text with the text tool in GIMP. I then set the opacity to around 66% so that it appeared to be faded in the background. I tried to pick a color that didn't take away from the actual picture.

I did the same with this picture of daisies on my fence line. I originally took this picture to clone out the road in the upper part of the picture. Cloning this much area proved to be a problem however, so I instead used it as a watermark photo like the one above it.

  1. Nice work on these.… I would just add that when using text on a photo, it is quite all right to make it obvious. That is its purpose, in a sense, to add information… Of course it is up to your sensibilities and the message you are trying to get across.
