The Clone Stamp tool
The Clone Stamp tool
takes a sample of an image, which you can then apply over another image or part of the
same image. You can also clone part of one layer over another layer. Each stroke of the tool paints on more of the
sample. The Clone Stamp tool is useful for duplicating an object or removing a defect in an image.

When you use the Clone Stamp tool, you set a sampling point on the area you want to apply over another area. By
selecting Aligned in the options bar, you can reuse the most current sampling point, no matter how many times you
stop and resume painting. When Aligned is deselected, you’ll reuse the same sampled pixels each time you paint.

Because you can use any brush tip with the Clone Stamp tool, you have a lot of control over the size of the area you
clone. You can also use opacity and flow settings in the options bar to finesse the way you apply the cloned area. You
can sample from one image and apply the clone in another image, as long as both images are in the same color mode.
