Performing offset sampling

Offset sampling, also known as "point-to-point cloning," lets you sample an area of an image and then reuse it elsewhere within the document, or in separate document. Sampling is a useful technique for retouching photographs.

To perform offset sampling, you must set a sampling reference point and then set destination reference points. Sampling reference points specify the area of the document that you want to reuse, or clone. Destination reference points determine the area where you want the sampled image to appear. To identify which area of the source document you are sampling, a crosshair cursor appears.

The green dot (left) represents the sampling reference point. The red dot (right) represents the destination point.

It is important to note that the sampling reference point, also known as the source, is not treated as a clone source. The sampled area does not display in the Clone Source panel.
