Using the Healing Brush Tool (Photoshop)

Looking to erase some clouds from your photo? I for one get annoying plane streams in sunset photos, and I think they divert your attention from the purpose of the photo.

Open up your image in Photoshop, and click and hold on the 'Spot Healing Brush Tool' until you get a menu of more healing tools. Choose 'Healing brush tool, or alternatively press J.

Once you have this, hold down the alt key so that you have a little circle with a cross when hovering over your photo. Click a part of the image where it is plain and will match the surroundings of where the replacement is going to go. Think of it as a paint pallet, and the part you are clicking on is the colour you will have on your paintbrush.

Let go of the alt key so that you have a plain circle again, and paint over the part you want gone. Photoshop does the rest.

As you can see, the tool has gotten rid of part of the aeroplane stream. Every so often, hold down alt again and select a new part of the photo. This means your photo wont have any repetitive markings.
