Precision Editing With
The Clone Tool

In photo editing, a photo clone tool is a feature or tool that allows you to duplicate or clone a specific area of an image and then apply that clone to another part of the same image or a different image. It’s used to remove imperfections, unwanted objects, or blemishes from photos, as well as for various retouching and creative purposes. Sometimes it’s called the clone stamp tool.

The Healing Brush Tool and the Spot Healing Brush Tool are both useful features in photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, for retouching and fixing imperfections in images. However, they have different functionalities and are used for slightly different purposes. The Spot Healing Tool is best for quick, automatic retouching of small imperfections, while the Healing Brush Tool is ideal for situations where you need more control over the sampling process and want to maintain the texture and appearance of the surrounding area. The choice between these tools depends on the specific retouching task and the level of control and precision you require.

Depending on the picture editor clone tool you use, the reset settings might differ. If you are using the Clone tool in Luminar Neo and accidentally select an area you no longer want, you do not need to start over. Instead, you can undo one stroke at a time. While in the Clone tool, simply choose Edit > Undo or press Cmd+Z (macOS) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to undo the last brush stroke.

When you do a clone picture edit and notice that something is not working, try resetting your changes and starting again. You might also contact Skylum support for help!
