  • Setting Cloning Controls

    The Cloning controls are specific to cloning method brushes and affect other brushes only when the Clone Color option is enabled.

    Clone Color

    The Clone Color control directs a brush to pick up color from a source image. Clone Color takes averaged samples of color from the clone source, resulting in an approximation of the original.

    The Clone Color option is also available on the Colors palette. For more information, see "Cloning Color".

    To set Clone Color
    1. On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
    2. Click the Clone Color check box to enable the option. Click it again to disable the option.

    Clone Type

    The Clone Type control lets you choose between several cloning variations. These variations are arranged according to the number of reference points used. With two or more reference points, you can apply a transformation (rotate, skew, scale mirror, perspective) during cloning. For complete information on using the different clone types, refer to "Cloning Imagery".

    To set Clone Type
    1. On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
    2. Choose a type from the Clone Type pop-up menu.

    Obey Source Selection

    The Obey Source Selection option uses any selection in the clone source region to constrain painting in the destination. If a transform Clone Type is used, the selection is appropriately transformed. This option is available only with the Cloning method.

    To constrain painting in the destination
    1. On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
    2. Click the Obey Source Selection check box to enable the option. Click it again to disable the option.

    Copy Source Selection

    When Copy Source Selection is enabled, the Cloner brush reproduces the source selection information in the destination selection. This option is available only with the Cloning method.

    To reproduce the source selection information in the destination selection
    1. On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
    2. Click the Copy Source Selection check box to enable the option. Click it again to disable the option.

    4-Point Tiling

    With this option enabled, your clone source is tiled in a repeating pattern.

    To tile clone source
    1. On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
    2. Click the 4-Point Tiling check box to enable the option. Click it again to disable the option.
