Cloning Your Images
You use the Clone brush of the Retouch adjustment to copy pixels from an area of the
image with similar visual elements and paste the pixels over the area with the imperfection.
No pixels are blended from the area surrounding the brush stroke.

To retouch an image using the Clone brush
1 Select an image.
2 It’s a good idea to set the image to appear at full size (100 percent) to prevent image
scaling from obscuring details. To display images at full size, click the Zoom Viewer button
in the tool strip or the Full Screen view toolbar (or press Z).
3 Choose Retouch from the Quick Brush pop-up menu (with a brush icon) in the tool strip
or the Full Screen view toolbar (or press X).
The pointer changes to a brush, and the Retouch HUD appears.
4 In the Retouch HUD, do the following:
a Click the Clone button.
b Set the radius of the brush by dragging the Radius slider or entering a value in the
Radius value slider.
