StefanK Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Can anyone confirm this behavior when cloning? Also an annoying thing for me. Cloning overwrites pixels. But as you move the brush further, the pixels reappear even though they were just overwritten. 20240128_150520.mp4 Quote bisher: Micrografx Picture Publisher 10, Photoshop 6, Affinity Photo 1, Affinity Photo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Depends on clone settings which are not visible in the video. if source is layers below or global source this is somehow expected.

Old Bruce Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 You'll need to make shorter brush strokes. The area where the "1" is is not yet painted over as you move your brush further to the left, it is not painted over until you stop painting that stroke. Upon reflection I think you may be painting onto a Pixel layer that is above the layer you have chosen to clone from. Regardless you may want to increase the distance from the source area to the painting area.

walt.farrell Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 It would help if the recording included the complete application window, so we can see the Context Toolbar and the Layers panel.

No. Here is another example. There is only one layer. Nothing else. It's a simple jpeg image. The clone source is the current layer (in the second attempt). And in this video current layer & below. Now tell me this behavior is normal. For me it isn't. And it's really annoying when you have to constantly interrupt. 20240128_202555.mp4 10 minutes ago, walt.farrell said: help if the recording included the complete application window That doesn't get us anywhere.

Old Bruce Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Until you finish your brushstroke the source is the original. You could try using a larger distance between the source and the start of your brush stroke. You could set the source to underneath/above the line and then start your painting up/down from that source.

It would be better to make the recording using the functions of the OS, rather than a camera. This is especially easy on Windows 11, but is also possible (not as easy, though) on Windows 10: But it's not needed in this case. As @Old Bruce said, you need to stop painting for it to recognize the changes you've already made.

StefanK Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I was very interested in this now. Yes, it doesn't really seem like abnormal behavior. Photoshop has the same effect. 🥴 I had already forgotten that. 😇 Ok, it's annoying though. But I can live with it. There are worse things. Incidentally, the undesirable effect only occurs when the source brush slides over the area that has just been cloned. Probably some internal graphics memory thing or something. This didn't happen with my first graphics program, Micrografx Picture Publisher. But Corel bought it and has improved that to death. But now we finally have Affinity Photo. 🤩 Quote bisher: Micrografx Picture Publisher 10, Photoshop 6, Affinity Photo 1, Affinity Photo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
