ship with the clone crosshair regardless of where you place your
mouse. (The clone crosshair does not return to the original location
when you release the mouse.) This is useful if you are cloning large
areas and often release your mouse and do not want to start from the
beginning point. Frame is for cloning between different frames on the
same clip. (To do this, first insert the file again so you now have two
copies in the workspace.) Whenever you paint the contents on the
target frame, these portions are replaced with whatever is in the edit
window you are cloning from and is most useful for cloning areas
successively over several frames. (When you choose Frame, the clone
crosshair appears in the top left corner of the image and as you clone
the crosshair moves to the exact same location to ensure you are
cloning accurately between both the active and target frames.)
Using the Retouch tool
The Retouch tools are not strictly painting tools in the sense that they do
not paint over an image with a selected color. Instead, they are used to
touch-up areas of an image to either enhance them, remove errors or
perform special effects, such as smudging and warping. When you apply
a Retouch tool, the tool uses the shape and size of the current brush each
time you click your mouse. To perform the effect over a larger area, drag
your mouse or increase the size of your brush. To reapply and increase the
effect on a specific area, click repeatedly. (Smudging requires you to drag
the tool as it smudges color from one area into another.)
