the clone tool, like other tools, is controlled by the alpha transparency on the colors dialog 8) 1) choose the clone tool. (menu->clone->tools->clone stamp). 2) select brush width. (toolbar -> brush width). 3) select alpha transparency (menu->window->colors->[more]->transparency alpha) a value of 255 has a crisp edge. a value 70 has a nice feathering. a value of 0 is completely invisible :? NOTE: I am using the 2.6 alpha 2.
