How do I use the cloning tool these days?

I haven't used clone for some time, now, and had no problems with it, but it seems to have changed somewhat. I have been unable to set up the clone tool source and target and can't recall how I used to do it. Any advice welcome. TIA.

@0rinoco It's always a good idea to first read the comprehensive and well written paint.net Documentation.

In paint.net click the :Help: Help icon at the top right, or press the shortcut key F1, or bookmark this page https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/index.html 

 

The Clone Stamp is described under Tools -> Photo Tools -> Clone Stamp Tool https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/CloneStamp.html 

 

 

 

The way the tool works has not changed.

Thanks. In spite of being shown as a newbie, I have, in fact, been using Paint for about 15-20 years.. Had a change of details, new account when my email address became defunct. The clone cursor had me fooled with the anchor symbol which I hadn't seen previously. Anyway, all sorted, thanks to your advice.  Much appreciated.

Also check out the status bar when the Clone Stamp is active ;)
