This worked perfectly. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I have a problem I was hoping someone could give me guidance on . If I select Layers\Import from File... to import a new image into my current project, then anchor the cloning brush (in the newly imported), then select a location from the existing image...I can successfully clone. I'm trying to figure out how soften or reduce the opacity of just the brush. In other words, what I'm cloning comes out way to strong. In some other packages, I'm able to set the opacity of the brush to soften what I'm copying. Anyway to easily do this with Paint.NET ?

Fantastic. Thanks!

Very cool. Thanks for the quick response. One last question if you have a second. Regarding your response to #1. Once I start cloning, is there a way to set the opacity of the clone brush ? I've looked but can't find where it might be located. I see where I can change the opacity of a layer, but not the brush itself.

Hi, I just discovered paint.net and I had 2 questions I'm hoping someone could help me with. 1. Cone Brush - If I have 2 pictures side by side, how can I use the clone brush to provided a starting point for the picture on the left and have the target (end result) be painted in the picture on the right ? Of course , cloning from within a single image is trivial but haven't found a way to clone between 2 images. This is a key feature I like in Photoshop and Elements (e.g. can clone from one pic to another). 2. Is there a way to 'duplicate' an image I'm working on ? In photoshop and elements, there's a 'Duplicate' item which sits off the menu where it'll create a newly (duplicated) image, Thanks, -
