Thomas Heaton recently asked "Is it time to stop cloning out". My response is no!

Find out why I think that as I explain my thoughts and edit an image using Photoshop Elements 2025. It has a new removal tool, specifically designed to remove the type of elements in our photography that Thomas is referring to.

What do you think? Is it okay to to clone out elements in our images? Or is it better to leave them exactly as they were when we saw them?
