Assignment Seven: Clone Stamp Tool
Save this alien picture:
Open it in photoshop and use the magic wand tool to delete the background.
Choose the Clone Stamp Tool 
Hold down Alt to choose the area to clone, click.
In a new layer, clone that area! After, you can change the size or angle of the cloned part under Edit –> Transform.
I want for you to practice with the clone tool by giving the alien 6 arms and 4 legs total. Use the Scale, Rotate, Skew, Distort, Perspective, and Warp Transformations at least once. Make each limb in a new layer so that you can edit them individually! Remember to put new limb layers behind the original alien.
Add a new background for your alien.
Flatten the image under Layer–> Flatten Image. Save it as a jpeg and post it to your blog under the title Assignment Seven.
Write about your experience with the Clone Stamp Tool. What does it do? What could you use it for?
