You can use a selection when sampling an image area in two ways: by making brushstrokes in the destination image obey the selection in the sample source image, or by copying the active selection in the sample source region. These two options can be used individually or together.
These selection options require a Cloning method. They do not work for brushes of other methods that use the Clone Color button on the Color panel.
Use Obey Source Selection to paint in the area that corresponds to the source selection.
Use Copy Source Selection to sample both the selection and the color.
| To sample an area of an image by using a source selection |  |
1 |
Choose a selection tool from the toolbox, and select the area of the image that you
want to sample.
|
If you want to closely outline the sample source area, choose the Lasso tool  . For information about setting up a selection, refer to Creating Path-Based Selections. |
2 |
Click the Cloner tool  in the toolbox.
|
3 |
Click the Brush Selector on the Brush Selector bar.
|
4 |
In the Brush Library panel, click the Cloners category, and click a brush variant.
|
5 |
Choose Window  Brush Control Panels Cloning.
|
6 |
In the Cloning panel, enable the Clone Color check box.
|
7 |
Enable any of the following options:
|
• |
Obey Source Selection — respects the content of the active sample source
selection. When you paint in the destination, the brushstrokes are constrained
to a region that corresponds to the sample source selection. For sampling types
that apply a transformation, the selection is transformed.
|
• |
Copy Source Selection — copies the active selection in the source region. When
you paint in the destination, your brushstrokes sample the selection’s pixels as
well as the RGB pixels. For sampling types that apply a transformation, the
copied selection is transformed. Copy Source Selection is often used together
with Obey Source Selection.
|
8 |
Hold down Option (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows), and click to set the sample source
reference points.
|
9 |
Hold down Option + Shift (Mac OS) or Alt + Shift (Windows), and click to set
the destination reference points.
|
The number of points depends on the brush variant that you chose. |
10 |
Apply brushstrokes to the destination area.
|
You can disable offset sampling by clicking the Clone Color button in the Color panel or by clicking the Brush Selector on the Brush Selector bar, and choosing a non-Cloner brush variant. |
This image uses Rotate & Scale sampling with both Obey Source Selection and Copy Source Selection enabled.
