</h2>
<p id="1005301" class="Body">
<a name="1005301"> </a>Using a Cloner brush can take a long time if you're working on a large area. To save time, you can have Corel Painter make brush strokes for you, using the Auto Clone feature.
</p>
<p id="999198" class="Body">
<a name="999198"> </a>When you use Auto Clone with the Felt Pen Cloner and other tools that turn black as you repeat strokes, areas darken rapidly. You can slow down the color buildup and still use Auto Clone by lowering the Opacity value on the property bar. You can also change color values in the clone source.
</p>
<p id="1007745" class="Body">
<a name="1007745"> </a>Another way to automate cloning is to record and play back individual brush strokes. Refer to <a href="06-Painting13.html#1013418">"Recording and Playing Back Strokes"</a>.

<p id="1009902" class="Body">
<a name="1009902"> </a>Auto Clone works particularly well with the Driving Rain Cloner and the Seurat variant of the Artist brush.

<a name="1006881"> </a>Corel Painter automatically applies dabs of paint to the selected area, using source imagery as the media.

<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1010290"> </a>If you apply Auto Clone to a large area, the paint may fill areas sparsely. When you click to stop Auto Clone, it stops at that point. It won't continue to fill the selected area. To fill an area completely, you must let the Auto Clone finish.</li>

<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1010216"> </a>If you use a variant with Auto Clone that isn't a Cloner variant, click Clone Color on the Colors palette to make it pick up color from the source document. For more color variety in the dabs Corel Painter applies, set the ▒H, ▒S, and ▒V sliders on the Color Variability palette to 15% each. </li>
