In LR4, they seem to have improved it to where it no longer works worth a damn. I remember removing two strands of a barbed wire fence that were between me and a donkey in LR2. It took a while, because it did not work like the PS cloner--it replaced a circular area by the area in some other direction, e.g. at right angles to the wire. So I had to remove the wire one section at a time, which took a while but worked splendidly. Yesterday, there was part of a picture frame showing at the top of a shot, and my wife asked if I could remove it in LR. I said "probably not," but thinking about it, there seemed to be enough clear wall between it and the subject of the picture to make removal possible. No way! It was a colossal failure. 1. I didn't see the replacement pixels show up as I was dragging the tool; they clearly showed in LR2. 2. I had to wait a number of seconds before I could see what the tool had done. 3. A faint image of some lines of the picture frame remained and could not be removed. 4. The replaced area was darker than the ostensible source area. Comments?
