Clone Source palette (Clone Source palette)

New in Photoshop CS3 is the Clone Source palette.
If you do not see the “Clone Source palette”, click “Window” – “Clone Source”.
In this example I’ll show you how you can use the “Clone Source” palette to mix different pictures together.

We select the “Healing Brush” tool in the Toolbox.
Hold the Alt key pressed while we click the source point in the first picture (source 1) that we want to clone.
We select the photo where we want to place the clones and click and drag with the mouse pointer.
If we wish to see if the source is properly installed, check the box “Show overlay” in the “Clone Source palette.”
Zoom in on the place you want to clone with the “zoom” tool and select and adjust the diameter of the brush so that it is not too great, this allows us to work more precisely. Once the edges of the source are cloned, you can enlarge the diameter of the brush to work faster.
As you see in the picture below, we can enter five source clones at the top of the “Clone Source palette”. The first is selected and you see that this refers to the picture “lambo.jpg”.
The checkbox “Show Overlay” is selected, this allows me to see where my clones are placed.
I set the “Opacity” (opacity) of the Overlay at 20%.
You can move the Overlay by clicking and dragging it with the mouse pointer.
Or, you can use the X-axis and the Y-axis to set it in the Offset section.

Once everything is cloned from the first source, then we move on to the second.

First click the second source clone at the top of “Clone Source palette”, so that we keep the first source clone.
Select the 2nd image you want to clone, in our case eye.jpg and click the source point with the Alt key is pressed.
You see, at the top of the “Clone Source palette”, source clone two is selected and the filename (eye.jpg) listed as the source.
Because this source is too large, we’ll change the width and height of this box, W: and H: up to 30%.
If you want to rotate the sample source, enter a value in degrees in the box under the “H:” box.
In this example I have the box “Show Overlay” unchecked to show you the difference.
Personally I find this somewhat difficult to work with because this just gambling.
You can always turn on the Overlay by clicking Shift + Alt (option for mac users) on your keyboard.
