Alfred Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It’s very hard to help you manage the Clone Tool without a description or screenshots of the kind of trouble you’re having.

You are right. First how placing the source cross point with precision. Then, clone with apple pencil from that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a capacitive stylus with a fine tip, and it seems to work as expected.

Angelos58 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 But fix exactly the cross point is a problem. How do you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must use your finger to set the clone source point. When you touch and hold, you should see a loupe with a magnified view of the spot your finger is touching. You can move your finger and the loupe will move with it. The clone source point will be set in the center of the loupe when you lift your finger.

And when i point my pencil to destination point is very very hard find the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John2404 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) The problem I seem to have quite often, is after selecting the source area and removing my pencil off the screen, when I start to try to apply the cloned area, the crosshair starts moving around when I move the pencil on the screen. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong to make this happen. Edited March 2, 2022 by John2404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you may have it turned off, if I understand what you're describing.

Thank in advance It’s probably something silly that I’m doing, but I’m new to Affinity and trying to find my way around it. In this video, I select the clone tool, hold down on the screen to select an area. When I remove my finger from the screen the cross hair appears on the area I’ve selected, but when I touch the screen on the sun flare, on the right hand side of the screen to paint the cloned area, the cross hair starts moving around the screen, mirroring my touch movements on the other side of the screen. Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? Thanks FullSizeRender.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tap the little white triangle on the right side of the bottom context menu. Deselect the Alignment icon (the first one). Now the cross hair will remain where you originally placed it. When you see those little white triangles/arrowheads alongside the context menu it indicates a submenu is available with more settings.🙂 walt.farrell, Paul Mudditt and John2404 2 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

John2404 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) That’s great. Thank you for your assistance. Also thanks to Walt.Farrel for your response as well, as you were correct in the solution to the problem, it was only my naivety on Affinity not realising that there were additional functions on the context menu and how to find them. I really appreciate your assistance. Edited March 5, 2022 by John2404 walt.farrell and DM1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
