Editing, updating, saving, and exporting clone source images

You can edit an embedded clone source image to change its appearance. For example, you can add layers or apply effects to the source image. When the source image modifications are complete, you have various options for working with the edited source image.

A black and white effect was applied to the Source Image (right). However, the edit is not yet reflected in the embedded clone source image (left).

You can save the changes to the source image by updating the currently selected source image, or by creating a new source image from the edited source. It’s important to note that performing either of these actions flattens all layers and deletes all undo levels from the image. If you want to retain the layers, you can export the source image as a new document and then update the embedded source image to continue cloning. Once the source image is exported as a new document, the relationship with the embedded source image is broken.

You can also discard any changes that you make to embedded source image.
