Using the Clone Tool on a Image
The clone tool
can be very useful when wanting to remove something from a picture.
I'm going to teach you how to remove something from a image using the clone tool
in this step-by-step tutorial.
Step 1:
Find a image which you want to modify and open it in photoshop. (Feel free to
use the same one as I am)
Here's the Image that I will be working with:
Step 2:
Select the Clone Stamp Tool.
Change your brush size to about 9 pix.
Step 3:
Now here's the tough part. Hold alt to pick a part of your image which you
wish to clone.
For example. I held down alt and selected some of the white on top of the 0.
Once you have selected a section that you wish to clone, Simply click and that
section will be pasted where you click.
Keep doing this until the part that you wish to remove is gone. You will want
to hold alt and make a new selection quite often. It is important that you take
a close look at shadowing and to do your best to match it. Zoom in and out to
get a better idea of what you need to clone. The smudge tool also comes in handy.
Note: hit ctrl + and ctrl - to zoom in and out.

Here is my result after a bit of cloning.
It will take a bit of getting use to, and a lot of practice. But the more you do it, the better it will turn out. After you finish removing something. It is always good to zoom out and make sure it looks realistic.
Here is my result after completely removing the 0:
