Right now, I do all my photo editing in Lightroom. I generally like it but in most cases I don't like how the leash cloning comes out. In many cases, I have to take a really long time to get it to look somewhat decent. I've seen people do great leash cloning in Photoshop but Photoshop looks like a complicated program to learn if all I'm looking to use it for is leash cloning. Any suggestions?
Adobe Photoshop Elements, a lighter version of Photoshop, has an effective cloning tool.
GIMP is fairly robust freeware that also has an effective clone tool.
Maybe I'll do the trial version of Photoshop Elements. I used to use GIMP. I found that virtually everything was better in Lightroom but I don't remember trying cloning. Lightroom works OK if the leash is just in the background and it's a simple background. With the attached picture below, I'm getting nowhere though.
I find Photoshop, etc hard to use. I keep it simple and only
use PicMonkey and iPiccy for all my editing. PicMonkey is very easy
when it comes to cloning. Good luck!

I have some experience with photoshop. What are you trying to do with the leash?
Photoshop. There's a tool called fill. You use the polygonal lasso tool (or any other selection tool) to select the area to be removed, then in the EDIT dropdown menu select FILL. Select CONTENT AWARE option.

Can you do that in Photoshop Elements too?
Should I have been able to do this effectively in Lightroom? Is there a secret to Lightroom cloning that I don't know about or is Lightroom's cloning not that great?

I can't answer questions about other software.
I'm not sure what you mean by cloning. I would think it means to duplicate something, so I initially understood that cloning the leash meant having two leashes.
