Red ochre Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 When Pdn is open press the 'F1' key then navigate to Tools/Photo tools/Clone stamp tool. Hope that helps (in part) and welcome to the forum. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hello. The clone stamp has two circles, and when you draw, both circles move. That is how the tool functions. Check out the paint.net documentation to learn more about the tool. Red Ochre has told you how to get to the documentation. If you can't find the clone stamp page, then feel free to ask, I will give you a link.Here are two old, but helpful, videos about using the Clone Stamp Tool. Video 1 Video 2The videos might be old, but the clone stamp tool still works about the same. The main difference is the brush in the current paint.net has a soft/hardness (which is a good thing. You can make the brush's edge very soft for better blending). For older versions of paint.net, I don't know if you could get the source from another layer, but you can in the current paint.net. What I mean is, you can choose the clone stamp tool, click your source on your picture, then add a new layer, and start drawing. This feature is also mentioned in the documentation.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Clone stamp help: http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/CloneStamp.html The Clone Stamp inherits the transparency setting of the Primary* color. So if you want to have a lower opacity to the stamp, lower the opacity of the Primary color in the expanded Colors Window. The Clone stamp source point moves along with the destination. They are 'locked' once you start cloning. If you want the same source point you really need to be copying & pasting + the Move Tool * Assuming you're using the left mouse button. If you're using the right mouse button - Clone Stamp will inherit the opacity of the Secondary color.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I never knew that opacity trick. I don't see it on the clone stamp's doc page. Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
