"erase" & "clone/stamp" tools

The "erase" & "clone/stamp" tools create an "image layer", that comes above the basic layer. This makes that whatever later improvement you want to do at a previous layer will not be reflected in the final view. The correction image layer has to be erased and done again. Stupid isn't it!

Why not make adjustment layers of these both "erase" & "clone/stamp" tools , like all filter layers do, and transform and crop do as well. 

This feature should be a great improvement of these both functions, unless you have a nice turn-around to suggest.

Regards

Pierre

  This stamped layer is awkward indeed...

  2 questions:   For the above problem from Pierre, is this still an issue in Luminar 3?     Is it recommended to sharpen after the clone and stamp?   Sharpening is the last filter I use in my editing workflow.

  Hi Blaine,

  Yes, Clone and Stamp creates a new layer that's placed above the basic layer. Moreover, you're absolutely right - it's recommended to apply detail corrections, such as Noise Reduction and Sharpening, as the last step of editing.

  Luminar 4 Eraser tool should have an opacity slider. When it erases a spot it leaves a... spot of its own...

  Hi,

  You an do this now - the Erase tool creates its own layer. You can then decrease the opacity of that layer to decrease the effect.

  Oh, I get it now! And you can even use the brush to tune it up further. Nice. However it seems to invalidate any previous correction layers. The best way must be to start with the Eraser tools and make any adjustments next, I think...
