JCCWabeke Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I would like to fix my source of the Clone Brush Tool so that I can always clone the same source. Is that possible? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @JCCWabeke. You can use the ‘Aligned’ toggle on the Context toolbar to control the behaviour of the clone source. Quote Aligned—when selected (default), the origin of the sample remains a fixed distance from the pointer. If this option is off, the origin of the sample always returns to the sample location defined initially.

carl123 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 If @alfred's answer did not help, can you be more specific as to what you want to do?

JCCWabeke Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Keep the source position fixed… while I am moving the stamp /brush/ pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you are moving or while you are drawing? Big difference and the first is possible, play with what Alfred suggested. The Align checkbox on and off will give different results. The second, probably not, in that as soon as you start drawing/painting the 'source' is going to move the same distance and direction.

Komatös Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 A fixed source point with the Clone Tool? No way. If a repeating pattern is desired, a brush from an appropriate selection would be suitable.
