Image cloning and sampling

Corel Painter includes powerful image cloning tools to help you transform an existing image, such as a photograph, into a work of art.

Use cloning techniques to give your digital photographs a second life. Original photo (left) and artwork (right) by Karen Bonaker.

You can also use image sampling tools and techniques to sample a portion of an image so you can use it elsewhere. Sampling is a useful technique for retouching photographs.
