About the Clone Source panel
The Clone Source panel (Window > Clone Source) has options for the Clone Stamp tools or Healing Brush tools. You can set up to five different
sample sources and quickly select the one you need without resampling each time you change to a different source. You can view an overlay of
your sample source to make it easier to clone the source in a specific location. You can also scale or rotate the sample source to better match the
size and orientation of the cloning destination.
