You're Hosed

I am finally getting around to playing with Aperture (as you can see). It has way, way, way more settings then the basic iPhoto. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the equivalent of clone stamping (if it's even possible). I also want to do weird things with layering and cutting and pasting. I did a photo once in the early 80's where I put myself in a bottle. But I did it all in the dark room with masking and multiple exposures and out of about 20 attempts one came out ok. I want to do stuff like that, if I can figure it out.
