Scrids Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi, I have played around with the clone tool and am frustrated that the point of origin is not fixed; it constantly travels and follows my pointer. I want to select and copy a very specific area of pixels, not pixels from all over the page. How do I get the point of origin to be stationary?? It's driving me crazy! thank you very much for any and all help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrebh Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If you only want to copy one pixel, use the eye dropper :ColorPicker: to make that color your primary or secondary color and then use any of the drawing tools. The Clone Brush is meant to move as you move. Quote Do not click the picture above. It will take you to my site, and I don't need the anxiety.

david.atwell Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He's right. That's what Clone Stamp is supposed to do. I'd suggest, instead of eyedropper, though, that you select, copy, and paste. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Scrids Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Allright...I must be thinking of the heal tool then. I do believe you can copy the texture exactly (not just the color) with the heal tool. I don't think paint.net has a heal tool option. Rats. Thanks.

Ash Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 If it's just a simple color you want to clone, you can fill that color to a new layer, use clone stamp and select that layer as the source, uncheck the layer to hide it. Stamp it on the layer you need. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
