Cloning Your Images
You use the Clone brush to copy pixels from an area of the image with similar visual
elements and paste the pixels over the area with the imperfection. No pixels are
blended from the area surrounding the brush stroke.
To retouch an image using the Clone brush:
1 Select an image.
2 It’s a good idea to set the image to appear at full size (100 percent) to prevent image
scaling from obscuring details. To display images at full size, click the Zoom Viewer
button in the tool strip or the Full Screen view toolbar (or press Z).
3 Select the Retouch tool in the tool strip or the Full Screen view toolbar (or press X).
The pointer changes to a target, and the Retouch HUD appears.
