Using the Clone tool
The Clone tool is used to clone a portion of the image at another location.
- Select the Clone tool by clicking on its icon in the tool box or by pressing C.
- Hold down the Alt key and click on the image to set the source point, i.e. the point from where you wish to clone.
- In the options palette, choose the type of brush that you would like to paint with.
- Click and drag on the canvas to clone from the source point.
Note: If you are working with multiple layers, first choose the layer on which you want to clone.
Brush modifiers
Holding down certain keys while dragging modifies the brush behaviour.
