Clone Stamp

Clone Stamp


  • Clone Stamp is a tool in Adobe Photoshop. It's similar to a standard Photoshop paintbrush, but instead of a flat color, it paints pixels from another section of the current layer. It can be used to retouch an image, remove imperfections or watermarks, or "doctor" photographic images. For example, if you want to remove people from the background of your photo, you can "paint over them." To do so, you can clone another, similar part of the image, and use that picture data like the color on a paintbrush.
