I have a problem with the Clone Brush tool.

I select my brush source with the [ALT] key. I then start to paint. I will start to continuously paint over some graphics that i want to cloning over. When the clone brush starts to go over the newly painted area, as I carry on painting in the same direction. What I cloned over starts to reappear all messed up at the new brush location.

I can temporarily get rid of it by stop painting and then starting again (by letting go of the mouse button), it paints normal again. After a short period it starts to paint messed up old graphics that are now replaced with the new cloned image.

Thats the best way to describe it, sry. Has anyone else had this?

It feels like the clone brush lags and can't keep up.

Im using Windows 7 Pro x64, q6600 @ 3.2ghz, 8gb ram and ATI 5870.

Thx.
 
Can you get a screenshot of it happening?

Have you ever had it working before? I ask as at first read it sounds like normal, where if the brush is held down and the source becomes your initial clone point, it'll clone using the old graphics not the newly cloned, until you let go of the button.

Click to expand...

So it sounds like how its intended to work. I thought it would clone the newly cloned parts its just painted. I never knew it would continue to clone the original image instead of the freshly replaced graphics. Anyway, here is a screenshot.

That's how it's supposed to work no? i.e. it clones, but only from the original image before cloning took place... if that makes sense. so if you're cloning in the direction the brush is going, it will begin to clone what was 'under' the replaced area rather than whats just been cloned in. So either click often, or select a source which isn't in line with the direction of the brush. There may be a way to get round this that I'm not aware of...
 
I'm afraid that is how it works currently as far as I know from my experience.

I tend to find that any raster image/photo looks terrible unless you continually re-sample/source the clone tool anyway so it doesn't tend to affect me. Slight annoyance when it comes to lines and horizons though!
 
Thanks for your input guys. I just thought I was going mad. It goes to show how often I use the clone brush tool :)
