<a name="1001354"> </a>The Cloner brush category holds variants that use multi-point cloning to apply a transformation to the source imagery at the time you clone it. To take advantage of the cool cloning effects you can get with these variants, multi-point cloning requires you to set multiple source and destination reference points.

</h3>
<p id="999398" class="Body">
<a name="999398"> </a>Corel Painter lets you establish different kinds of relationships between the clone source and destination. These are characterized by how many reference points you use.
</p>
<p id="1005386" class="Body">
<a name="1005386"> </a>For each number of reference points used, different transformations are possible. All of these cloning types are valid for cloning method brushes and brushes that use the Clone Color option or a clone source, such as Fill.

<p id="999415" class="Body">
<a name="999415"> </a>The number of source and destination reference points required for each clone type is shown in parentheses.
</p>
<p id="999416" class="Body">
<a name="999416"> </a>Clone Types are:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="999418"> </a>Normal (0) - The reference is between the top, left corners of the source and destination documents and patterns. This means that the pixels of the destination document correspond directly with the pixels in the source document. This type of cloning is valid only between documents. No transformations occur. Zero-point cloning is the basic cloning between documents. Refer to <a href="11-Cloning4.html#998955">"Cloning a Document"</a> for more information about basic cloning.</li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="999423"> </a>Offset (1) - The brush offsets the imagery from the source. The source and destination areas can be separate places in the same or different documents. Offset cloning is basic point-to-point cloning and is useful for retouching photographs. Refer to <a href="11-Cloning10.html#999271">"Point-to-Point Cloning"</a> for more information about point-to-point cloning.</li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="999428"> </a>Rotate & Scale (2) - The brush rotates and scales source imagery. </li>
<a name="1001407"> </a><i>Cloning with rotate and scale. Note that the source and destination reference points are numbered and connected by a line.
</i></p>
<ul>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1001424"> </a>Scale (2) - The brush scales the source imagery. The distance between the two destination points, in relation to the distance between the two source points, determines the scaling transformation. </li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1001465"> </a>Rotate (2) - The brush rotates the source imagery. The line between the two destination points, in relation to the line between the two source points, determines the rotation transformation.</li>
<a name="1001503"> </a><i>Cloning with rotate and mirror.
</i></p>
<ul>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1001525"> </a>Rotate, Scale, & Shear (3) - The brush rotates, scales, and shears (slants) the source imagery. The relative positions of the three source and destination reference points determine the transformation effect.</li>
<a name="1001549"> </a><i>Cloning with rotate, scale, and shear.
</i></p>
<ul>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1001536"> </a>Bilinear (4) - The brush applies a bilinear warp to the source imagery. The relative positions of the four source and destination points describe the bilinear transformation.</li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1001578"> </a>Perspective (4) - The brush applies perspective to the source imagery. The relative positions of the four source and destination points describe the perspective transformation.</li>

</h3>
<p id="999499" class="Body">
<a name="999499"> </a>Before you can paint with a multi-point Cloner brush, you must set the correct number of source and destination reference points. Source points can be in one document and destination points in another, or both sets of points can be in the same document.
</p>
<p id="999500" class="Body">
<a name="999500"> </a>Once source and destination reference points are set, you can start painting with the multi-point Cloner brush.
</p>
<p id="999501" class="Body">
<a name="999501"> </a>There are times when you don't have to place source points. When cloning source files and patterns, Corel Painter places source points for you, located in each of the corners of the document. These corner source points are ideal for perspective cloning with 4-point tiling. If you don't want to use these default source points, just move them or set source points of your own.
