THE CLONE BRUSH (PAINT SHOP PRO)

THE CLONE BRUSH

You use the Clone Brush to copy all or part of an image to another location within the same image or to another image. Right-click to select the image or part of the image to be cloned. Left-click to place the cloned image. When using the Clone Brush, the Aligned setting causes each succeeding click of the mouse to paint an additional portion of the original image. The Non-aligned setting, causes each succeeding click of the mouse to repeat the area of the image captured when the source was selected.
