Cloning and Tracing194
Selecting a Clone Type
Corel Painter lets you establish
different kinds of relationships
between the clone source and
destination. These are characterized
by how many reference points you
use.
For each number of reference points
used, different transformations are
possible. All of these cloning types are
valid for cloning method brushes and
brushes that use the Clone Color
option or a clone source, such as Fill.
You must set source and destination
reference points before using a multi-
point cloning brush.
The number of source and destination
reference points required for each
clone type is shown in parentheses.
Clone Types are:
• Normal (0) — The reference is
between the top, left corners of the
source and destination documents
and patterns. This means that the
pixels of the destination document
correspond directly with the pixels
in the source document. This type
of cloning is valid only between
documents. No transformations
occur. Zero-point cloning is the
basic cloning between documents.
Refer to “Cloning a Document” on
page 188 for more information
about basic cloning.
• Offset (1) — The brush offsets the
imagery from the source. The
source and destination areas can be
separate places in the same or
different documents. Offset
cloning is basic point-to-point
cloning and is useful for
retouching photographs. Refer to
“Point-to-Point Cloning” on
page 192 for more information
about point-to-point cloning.
• Rotate & Scale (2) — The brush
rotates and scales source imagery.
Cloning with rotate and scale. Note that the
source and destination reference points are
numbered and connected by a line.
• Scale (2) — The brush scales the
source imagery. The distance
between the two destination
points, in relation to the distance
between the two source points,
determines the scaling
transformation.
Cloning with scale.
• Rotate (2) — The brush rotates the
source imagery. The line between
the two destination points, in
