Using the Clone Stamp in Pixelmator

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Another really cool tool is the Clone Stamp tool. If you come over to your tool box it looks like a little stamp. I'm going to select that, come over to my canvas and if you hold down the "alt" or the option key and select somewhere on your canvas that you want to clone, so hold down "alt" and click there. And I am going to come over and let go of the "alt" key, and when I hold down on my left mouse button it's going to start drawing where I clicked. And as you can see, the stamp tool is drawing and you've got a little cross-hair over to the right there, and that is showing you where it's drawing. So I am going to go ahead and clone this guy real quick. And that's how you use the Clone tool. And another thing that you can do, after you clone your object, sometimes it doesn't look quite right so you can come over to the "blur" tool, which is this tool right here, looks like a little drop and you can come over and kind of blur the edges to make it blend in a little bit better. And if you've found that you've blurred too much, you can select the "sharpen" tool and come back and sharpen what you have blurred. And you can also change the strength of the blur and the sharpen here in your tool options. "
