Cloning content in video and animation frames (Photoshop Extended)
In Photoshop Extended, you can use the Clone Stamp and Healing Brush tools to retouch or duplicate objects in
video or animation frames. Use the Clone Stamp to sample content from one part of a frame (the source) and paint
it over another part of the same or different frame (the target). You can also use a separate document as the sampling
source, instead of a frame. The Healing Brush includes options for blending the sampled content with the target
frame.
Note: You can also clone content with the Spot Healing Brush and the Patch tools. However, the Clone Stamp and the
Healing Brush tools let you store up to five samples in the Clone Source palette, and set overlay, scaling, and frame offset
options.
After you sample content from a frame and paint with it, and then move to another frame, the source frame changes
relative to the frame you initially sampled from. You can lock in the source frame you first sampled, or enter a frame
offset value to change the source to a different frame, relative to the frame you first sampled.
