Operation Manual

You can adjust the angle of the cloned pixels within the destination target overlay.
Adjusting the angle rotates the cloned pixels over the destination area. This is particularly
useful if you’re cloning an area that has a visual element, such as a pattern or line, that
is at a different angle from elements in the destination area. The Angle controls allow
you to match the angle of the pixels within the destination target overlay.
You can adjust the angle
of the cloned pixels.
