Hi guys, quick question, say I have a picture of a room and I clone an objectto add to part of the room, is there anyway I can rotate the clone object without also rotating the main image? I am new to LR3 so bear with me if it sounds simple :S
 
No. Dont think so.
 
Instead of cloning, cut out the object and put it on a separate layer, make sure that layer is selected and press Ctrl+T (or I think command if you use a mac). then move your mouse or pen outside the layer a little way and when the double headed curved arrow appears just drag to rotate. Then use the method of your choice to delete the areas of the layer you don't want, I would probably use a mask but you can also use the eraser.
 
Not in Lightroom, you would need to use Photoshop (or Elements) for that, as per the instructions from the previous post.

Christine, the OP has Lightroom, it doesn't have layers.
