One irritating aspect of using the pen is that when you press either alt or ctrl you get a little message 'sign' appearing. Any way to turn this off? It can really interfere when trying to clone.

Re: Wacom
What sign are you seeing? I'm not sure what you mean.

If it's a Tool Tip, you can turn them off in Photoshop in Preferences > Interface.

Re: Wacom
Sorted, thanks. Was a setting in the tablet software. Quick question pertaining to the previous challenge: how would I eliminate the shadow on the right hand side of the lampshade?

Re: Wacom
I think I would do a horizontally flipped cut and paste from the left side and attempt to colour match it. Failing that cut and paste extreme right side in several gradually overlapping offset layers with soft edges.

Not quite as straightforward as it looks I suspect. Very smooth flat surfaces are difficult because the tiniest anomaly tends to stick out ......

Thanks David, that's exactly what I suspected, and experienced when attempting it. I wanted to try another entry with the lights on, but this stymied me. I could of course simply have let the light shine out of the top, then with a black brush on low opacity go over the equivalent left side.

Re: Wacom
You could of course simply cut out the lamp and create a new neutral surface of your own behind it. That would be much easier.
