Does anyone have any good techniques for cloning hair? In most cases like this I would just copy the adjacent hair to a new layer, move it over the desired area and blend it in with the Healing Brush. This always works quite well with low res images (in fact with a low res image even a sloppy cloning job would probably suffice). But how would you approach a high resolution image? Attached is an example where the ear needs to be cloned out.

Many thanks.

I'll start by saying what I've done isn't good enough but have you considered the liquify filter? I gave it a shot and it shows promise but I'm not real experienced with liquify... maybe someone else can do better with this.

Make a selection of the hair to the right of the ear and copy it to a new layer. Then work with that layer in liquify to cover the ear. I was using the 'push left' tool.

I like that Sean! Would never have thought of using the Liquify Filter. I shall definitely give your method a try.

Many thanks
