• | To clone an image area or object |
• | To retouch image areas using sampled texture |
You can copy pixels from one image area to another in order to cover damaged or unwanted elements in an image. For example, you can fix a tear or remove a person from an image by applying cloned pixels over the area you want to remove. You can also clone image elements you like and apply them to another image area or a second image. If you clone an object, the newly cloned areas are added to the active object. You can also create abstract images, based on pixels sampled from the original image.
The Clone tool was used to remove the woman’s necklace.
Some imperfections were removed from the girl’s face on the left by painting with sampled texture.
