What version do you have?

Some things will look slightly different interface wise, but the basic concept is still the same.

Great tutorial Josh, But just one question where do you find the cloning tool? Or is it even a tool?

I am using Adobe Photoshop elements 6.

Thanks,
Grant

I don't have elements so I'm not positive, but in CS3 you press the 'S' key for Stamp. The icon should look like this: Posted Image

Yes, that works even with elements!

Thank you Josh. But, I think my question might have been irevolent to what I am doing.

I take it you are cloning because of the 3d windows in the A318.

If I where to do a paint for,say, the x737 would I still need to do the cloning since their is no 3d cockpit or windows?

Sorry for replying with a question. But, Help is appreciated.

You won't have to remove the passenger windows, but you will have to clone the wing and cockpit windows out.
