what does a clone stamp do
The Clone Stamp tool is different from the Healing Brush tool in that it does no automatic blending into the target area. You can use the Clone Stamp tool for removing a product name from an image, replacing a telephone wire thatâs crossing in front of a building, or duplicating an item. Hereâs how to use the Clone Stamp tool: 1  With the Clone Stamp tool selected, position the cursor over the area you want to clone and then Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) to define the clone source. 2  Position the cursor over the area where you want to paint the cloned pixels and then start painting.
