Samples pixels continuously, without losing the current sampling point, even if you release the mouse button. Deselect Aligned to continue to use the sampled pixels from the initial sampling point each time you stop and resume painting.

Samples data from the layers you specify. To sample from the active layer and visible layers below it, choose Current And Below. To sample only from the active layer, choose Current Layer. To sample from all visible layers, choose All Layers. To sample from all visible layers except adjustment layers, choose All Layers and click the Ignore Adjustment Layers icon to the right of the Sample pop‑up menu.

You can set up to five different sampling sources. The Clone Source panel saves the sampled sources until you close the document.

• To scale or rotate the source that you’re cloning, enter a value for W (width), H (height), or the rotation in degrees .

• To reverse the direction of the source (good for mirroring features like eyes), click the Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical buttons.

• To show an overlay of the source that you’re cloning, select Show Overlay and specify the overlay options.

To clone video or animation frames, open the Animation panel (if you’re not cloning video or animation frames, skip to step 2). Select the timeline animation option and move the current-time indicator to the frame with the source you want to sample.

You can change the sampling source for a Clone Source button by setting a different sampling point.

• To scale the sample source, enter a percentage value for W (width) or H (height) or scrub W or H. The default is to constrain proportions. To adjust the dimensions independently or restore the constrain option, click the Maintain Aspect Ratio button .

• To rotate the sample source, enter a degree value or scrub the Rotate The Clone Source icon .

• To reset the sample source to its original size and orientation, click the Reset Transform button .

• To hide the overlay while you apply the paint strokes, select Auto Hide.

• To clip the overlay to the brush size, enable the Clipped option.

• To set the opacity of the overlay, enter a percentage value in the Opacity text box.

• To set the appearance of the overlay, choose either the Normal, Darken, Lighten, or Difference blending mode from the pop‑up menu at the bottom of the Clone Source panel.

• To invert the colors in the overlay, select Invert.

Specifies the blending mode. Choose Replace to preserve noise, film grain, and texture at the edges of the brush stroke when using a soft‑edge brush.

Specifies the source to use for repairing pixels. Sampled to use pixels from the current image, or Pattern to use pixels from a pattern. If you chose Pattern, select a pattern from the Pattern pop‑up panel.

Samples pixels continuously, without losing the current sampling point, even if you release the mouse button. Deselect Aligned to continue to use the sampled pixels from the initial sampling point each time you stop and resume painting.

Samples data from the layers you specify. To sample from the active layer and visible layers below it, choose Current And Below. To sample only from the active layer, choose Current Layer. To sample from all visible layers, choose All Layers. To sample from all visible layers except adjustment layers, choose All Layers and click the Ignore Adjustment Layers icon to the right of the Sample pop‑up menu.

Controls how quickly the pasted region adapts to the surrounding image. Select a lower value for images with grain or fine details, or a higher value for smooth images.

You can set up to five different sampling sources. The Clone Source panel remembers the sampled sources until you close the document you’re editing.

• To scale or rotate the source that you’re cloning, enter a value for W (width), H (height), or the rotation in degrees .

• To show an overlay of the source that you’re cloning, select Show Overlay and specify the overlay options.

The sampled pixels are melded with the existing pixels each time you release the mouse button.

Uses pixels around the edge of the selection to find an area to use as a patch.

Uses pixels in the selection to create a texture. If the texture doesn’t work, try dragging through the area a second time.

Compares nearby image content to seamlessly fill the selection, realistically maintaining key details such as shadows and object edges.

• Drag in the image to select the area you want to repair, and select Source in the options bar.

• Drag in the image to select the area from which you want to sample, and select Destination in the options bar.

• Shift-drag in the image to add to the existing selection.

• Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) in the image to subtract from the existing selection.

• Alt+Shift-drag (Windows) or Option+Shift-drag (Mac OS) in the image to select an area intersected by the existing selection.

To control how quickly the pasted region adapts to the surrounding image, adjust the Diffusion slider. Select a lower value for images with grain or fine details, or a higher value for smooth images.

• If Source is selected in the options bar, drag the selection border to the area from which you want to sample. When you release the mouse button, the originally selected area is patched with the sampled pixels.

• If Destination is selected in the options bar, drag the selection border to the area you want to patch. When you release the mouse button, the newly selected area is patched with the sampled pixels.

Increases or decreases the area affected by the Red Eye tool.

Sets the darkness of the correction.
