Free Clone Stamp Tool

Tweet The Clone Stamp Tool / Clone Tool is the most useful photo editing tool in image fixing. It is used in image editing to replace information for one part of a picture with information from another part. The Clone Stamp Tool is useful for duplicating objects or removing a defect in an image. A common usage is in retouching skin, particularly in portraits; in this way one can remove blemishes (pimples, moles, or scars), and make skin tone 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. It may also be called a clone brush or a rubber stamp tool. If you need more photo editing features, you may want to try the all-in-one photo editor - Photo Toolbox.
