Clone Brush Problem with Flip Horizontal


Recommended Posts

I first noticed this problem in 1.6.5.123 but it's also in 1.7.0.251 so I'm adding it here.  The issue is at least one of the clone brush options do not recognize image rotations.

I open an image

which I straighten

I select the clone brush, alt-click the inner corner of the monkey's right eye (our left) and clone it to the upper left.

Then I change the clone Flip option to Horizontal and repeat the clone:

Note the highlights in the eyes: AP flipped the cloned section horizontally, but is sampling from the original, unrotated image.  I expected to get a mirror image of the same leveled eye.

Maybe the OP could provide  a "full screen" snapshot (with the layers panel & context toolbar visible)  or even better attach the native " .afphoto" file.

I also do not have this problem...Beta 251 works as expected.

I think the OP is right

You need to Rasterise the image after you rotate it to get the expected results from the Clone Tool when using the Flip horizontal setting (and Flip vertical)

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

This occurs only when cloning to the same layer not when cloning onto a new pixel layer as per your screenshot

I did rasterise but I didn't rotate my document anywhere near enough for this to be noticable!
