Cloning

A clone is a duplicate of a small part of an image. You can use the clone to edit flaws in an image, painting it into an image at a different location.

When you paint the clone back in, the painting starts at a reference point that you define. This is easier to do than to explain, but here is an example.

Example: Suppose you’ve scanned a picture of a building and you want to cover a certain feature, such as a fountain, with another portion of the image, such as a group of shrubs. You want to repeat the shrub portion of the image without the sharp cut-out image of a copied-and-pasted selection.

To clone an image and repeat it:

1 Click the clone tool.
