Using Clone Brush rotation preview

[henryb]

Hello again!

 

I'm trying to hide the plastic bag on the table using the Clone brush tool to make an empty table. But the rotation preview is not helping..

When I change the rotation value of the clone tool preview to fix the table edge so that it maintains its “logical” curve, I get a crappy-looking preview near the rotation slider (which is half-hidden behind the controls) which is no help really.
Is there a way to show the rotated result preview where the table is??
*Maybe a keyboard shortcut to affect the slider, while my pointer is at the table-edge position (so I can get the preview where I need it, and simultaneously try rotation degrees using keys, so my pointer doesn’t have to leave the table edge so I can see what I’m doing)?

You're right, that is poorly placed. But you're in luck, there is a keyboard shortcut for rotating the clone brush - try using the Left and Right Arrow keys which will allow you to rotate the cloned brush while it's exactly where you want it. And the Up and Down Arrow keys will change the brush's size.

Good luck!
