Do you mean the area that gets cloned from, or the area that gets cloned to? The clone tool should be painting to exactly where your brush is, just the same as any other paint tool. The area that gets cloned from is set by holding the control key, clicking (and releasing) on the image, and then releasing the control key. -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] control clone tool?
Yes, thanks. I have taken both these suggestions to heart, but I still find that the area I'm brushing over with the clone tool is not the same area that gets cloned. I wonder why it is not straightfoward, that we brush the small spot and that's what clones. But no doubt there is a good reason. Another gotcha is the opacity slider may not be at 100%, so check that. Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I've tried the various alignment options, but I always end up cloning an area close to why I've brushed over with the clone tool instead of getting precisely the area that I brush over. Once you select the area to be cloned, watch the 'mark' whilst doing the cloning and avoid moving outside that area. Keep releasing the left mouse key and moving back to the start of the area being copied It can be a bit tedious if the area to be cloned is small -- Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, you should keep in mind that you can control the cloned part by making certain selections. this makes it impossible to clone something outside of your selection. make sure you use CTRL on your keyboard to set a point you want to clone. if you want to clone the same part all the time use the alignment type fixed hope that helps a bit! -- Bernhard S. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- Helen Etters using Linux, SuSE11 ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
