Select Aligned to apply the entire sampled area
once, regardless of how many times you stop and
resume painting. This option is useful when you
want to use different-sized brushes to paint an
image. You can also use the Aligned option to
duplicate two halves of a single image and place
them at different locations.
If Aligned is deselected, the sampled area is applied
from the initial sampling point each time you stop
and resume painting. Because the clone stamp tool
samples the entire image, this option is useful for
applying multiple copies of the same part of an
image to different images.

Select Use All Layers to sample data from all
visible layers. If this is deselected, the tool samples
only from the active layer.

If you are using a pressure-sensitive drawing
tablet, specify the effects of stylus pressure.
(See "Specifying the effect of stylus pressure" on
page 149.)
7
Position the pointer on the part of any open
image you want to sample, and Alt-click
(Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS). This
sample point is the location from which the image
is duplicated as you paint.
Drag to paint with the tool.
