Size Sets the size of the brush in pixels. Drag the Size slider, or enter a size in the text box.
Mode Determines how the source or pattern blends with existing pixels. Normal mode lays new pixels over the original pixels.
Aligned Moves the sampled area with the cursor as you begin to paint, regardless of how many times you stop and resume
painting. Selecting this option is useful when you want to eliminate unwanted areas, such as a telephone line across the
skyline or a rip in a scanned photo. If Aligned is deselected, the Clone Stamp tool applies the sampled area from the initial
sampling point each time you stop and resume painting. Deselecting this option is useful for applying multiple copies of the
same part of an image to different areas within the same image or to another image.
3. Click Clone Overlay, and set the following options:
Show Overlay Select show Overlay for the overlay to be visible inside brush size.
Opacity To set the opacity of the overlay, enter a percentage value in the Opacity text box.
Clipped To clip overlay to the brush size, enable the Clipped option.
Auto Hide To hide the overlay while you apply the paint strokes, select Auto Hide.
Invert Overlay To invert the colors in the overlay, select Invert.
4. Position the pointer on the part of any open image you want to sample, and press Alt (Option in Mac OS) and click. The tool
duplicates the pixels at this sample point in your image as you paint.
5. Drag or click to paint with the tool.
