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.

 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.

Welcome, and you are right there is a lot to learn. May I suggest that
you have a look at www.meetthegimp.org and follow the videos listed

As no one has mentioned the user manual yet: did everyone assume that it
had been read before asking here? :)
