THE CLONE TOOL

The clone tool paints one area over another.

You can clone within one picture, from picture to picture or from picture to blank page.

 

For practice and fun, clone a picture (or more than one!) or part of one to a blank page.

Experiment with textured

brushes, sizes and opacities

Set the flow, click on airbrush in option bar, and aligned. If aligned is not checked, the image will repeat itself each time.

 

 

 

 

THE HEALING BRUSH differs from the clone tool in that it copies color to the target area. See pages 137-138

The healing brush samples the source area’s texture to the target area and then matches it to the target area’s surrounding color and brightness. To lessen the effect you can go to
