selecting part of an image, then pasting that image to another part of the image

Hi Affinity people,

Part of this lady's shoulder was out of the image. I'd like to copy the other shoulder, flip it, then paste it into the other side to make it look like two shoulders. 

Not having any luck with this. Any suggestions on how to do this? 

Cheers,

Steve.

It's easy to do ...

1. select with the rectangle selection tool the shoulder area to copy/duplicate
2. use copy/paste in order make a copy of the selected rectangular area into a new layer
3. select the new layer with the rect portion with the move tool, drag and position the rect image portion to where you want it
4. now perform a flip horizontal operation on the selected layer rect shoulder area
5. (not shown) if you want you can merge together all visiable layers

Well v_kyr, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the help.

Hi @Steve_1010

You can use the clone brush tool [S].
But if you start to clone right away you will have two left shoulders so you need a flipped source.

1) Set your clone tool to use a flipped horizontal source.

2) Define a point, on the left shoulder, that you want to clone (Alt+Mouse_Click).
3) Paint over the right shoulder

Dont forget to reset the clone brush to "Flip: none"

And v_kyr, thank you, also for the video. That was very helpful.

Thank you Lisbon. I had fiddled with the clone brush tool, too but I didn't know there was a flip function. I'm searching for it now. I only see a horizontal flip option for the picture. Could you tell me where to access the rotation scale flip window?

It's probably hidden. The same thing happens on my laptop.

After selecting the Clone Brush Tool [S] look a the top right corner of your screen for something like ">>"

Oh, that's sweet. Thank you for the tip.
