Cloning

(Objective is to not make it look like a clone!)
1. One or more source photos (your object)
2. Open photo (check size of photo).
3. Go to Menu | File | Quick Clone. A new page is created. This becomes the Destination file. The default name is "Clone of xxx".
4. Another way to create a clone with tracing paper is go to Menu | File | Clone. Then Select All | Delete. Use Control "T" (PC) or Command "T" (Mac) to toggle the tracing paper on and off.
5. You can also toggle the tracing paper on and off using the top icon on the side bar of the file window. (see image)
6. You can use the source's color by clicking on the clone stamp in the color pallete or using the "U" key.
7. Almost all materials can be used to clone as well as cloners in the brushes menu.
8. You can clone from different sources into one destination file. You just have to make sure that the appropriate file is designated "The Clone Source" in the Menu | File | Clone Source.
9. When using two sources, both should be the same size/resolution as the destination file.
