Free Clone Stamp Tool - LifeSniffer

The Clone Stamp Tool / Clone Tool, as it is known being used in many digital image editing softwares to replace information for one part of a picture with information from another part. In some image editing software, its equivalent is sometimes called a rubber stamp tool or a clone brush. A typical use for the tool is in removing or duplicating objects. If a part of an image is removed simply by cutting it out, then a hole is left in the background. The Clone tool can fill in this hole convincingly with a copy of the existing background. A common usage is in retouching skin, particularly in portraits; in this way one can remove blemishes (pimples, moles, or scars), and make skin tones more even. Cloning can also be used to remove other unwanted elements, such as telephone wires, an unwanted bird in the sky, and the like. |
