Set sample sources for cloning and healing
Using the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush tool, you can sample sources in the current document or any open document
in Photoshop.
(Photoshop Extended) When cloning video or animation, you can set sampling points in the current frame you’re
painting or sample sources in a different frame, even if the frame is in a different video layer or in a different open
document.
You can set up to five different sampling sources at a time in the Clone Source panel. The Clone Source panel saves
the sampling sources until you close the document.
1 (Photoshop Extended only) 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.
2 To set the sampling point, select the Clone Stamp tool and Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) in any
open document window.
3 (Optional) To set another sampling point, click a different Clone Source button in the Clone Source panel.
You can change the sampling source for a Clone Source button by setting a different sampling point.
Scale or rotate the sample source
1 Select the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush tool and set one or more source samples.
2 In the Clone Source panel, select a clone source and then do any of the following:
• 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
.
