I'm having a bit of bother with cloning in LR.

It seems that I can only clone a spot/circle of stuff at any one time, and I can't basically 'paint out' a distracting 'splodge' of something in the background, for example.

My previous main program was/is DPP and cloning is pretty simple there - select the circle size, pick the target, click&drag, paint away. For example an untidy cable just disappears.

But in LR, I can't seem to do this. Just place one circle at a time. And then when I have a few circles trying to - clumsily - cover an area, I can't clear up the rest of the mess in the gaps between them, because as soon as the cursor hits the edge of a circle, it changes function to select/move that circle it's in, and you can't place another circle where you want to.

Bit of a roundabout way to explain the issue, hope someone gets the jist. If it's clear as mud, I'll try to post up screen grabs to example it but that'll be middle of next week earliest (sorry).

I must be doing something stupid...it can't be this difficult. What am I missing? RTFM?Thanks in advance.

You're correct it is a PITA.

Well for the moment I don't believe that LR can't handle anything as pretty simple/basic/necessary as that. Someone's gotta know what the score is, surely!

And if I am right... well kcuf me backwards, what a dumb thing to omit from an early version of an all-singing, all-dancing application. :evil:

Well, LR 1.1 is much better than 1.0. :-)
Also, if LR did it all then you wouldn't want to buy Photoshop.

Oh yes I agree 1.1 is much better than 1.0 and I look forward to 1.2 etc. At this rate, LightZone may be a worthy contender functionally, esp with ver. 3.1, though LR is very clever with it's DAM.

Anyway I'm going OT here. Any other takers for the cloning issue?
