So I'm trying to complete the tutorial without being able to make the diver dissapear so I use a normal color ink and the spray gun to cover him over. It looks like crap but I'll go with it for now. I get the idea that I'll try the clone ink w/ the spray gun. I choose the point above and to the left of the diver and then begin spraying over where he was. He comes back! Like magic he come shining thru the color ink I just sprayed on him. Any ideas?

>> So I'm trying to complete the tutorial without being able to make the diver dissapear so I use a normal color ink and the spray gun to cover him over. It looks like crap but I'll go with it for now. << a quick alternative to the clone ink blending is to simply use lasso tool and grab a chunk of the area above the diver, copy it to clipboard, and paste it over the diver. a little jumble ink and a little smoothing ink over this area does the trick nicely too. there are several ways to hide the diver. >> I get the idea that I'll try the clone ink w/ the spray gun.

If clone ink means that it'll take the selected image and and paste it over the selected area then no wonder the diver didn't go away. The selected image was the same as the image to be pasted over. What am I missing?

I'll try this but I'm still confused. Why does the tutorial have me using the same image for the clone source and target?

>> I'll try this but I'm still confused. Why does the tutorial have me using the same image for the clone source and target? << it can be a little confusing at first… but try out two different images first and see how the airbrush functions (or the rectangle tool which may require to identical applications) using varying Clone Ink toggle settings. Once the different images make sense (more obvious applications of ink), then the same image appplication will make sense. the autoreset function enables the user to spray seemlessly in the awme image using another area of the same image.very kewl. -dave
