When retouching, for example, you can remove an unwanted object from an
image by extending another area of the image over it (note the pickup area is
positioned over the sea rather than the original boat).
The tool acts on the active Background or standard layer, and can even clone all
layers (including Text layers or Shape layers).
To clone a region:
1. From the Tools toolbar's Clone Tools flyout, select the
Clone Tool.
2. Change properties, if necessary, on the context toolbar.
3. To define the pickup origin, Shift-click with the tool.
4. Click again where you want to start the copy, then drag to paint the copy
onto the new location. Repeat as needed. A crosshair marks the pickup
point, which moves relative to your brush movements.
