I have a couple of suggestions for options for the Clone tool: 1) At present, the source data for clone is the image as it was before you clicked on the mouse. It would be nice to have an option to take the *current* state of the image instead. When you are erasing some feature from a photo by stealing a bit of background from somewhere nearby, it's frustrating to accidentally pull in a part of the object you already erased. 2) It would be *really* cool if clone could 'mirror' the direction of the brush strokes when picking up colour from the image...so (optionally), as I move the brush to the right, the clone's '+' cursor would move to the left - and vice-versa. An option for an up/down mirror and/or an arbitary rotation of the brush coordinates would be useful too. ---- Steve Baker (817)619-2657 (Vox/Vox-Mail) L3Com/Link Simulation & Training (817)619-2466 (Fax) Work: sjbaker@xxxxxxxx http://www.link.com Home: sjbaker1@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sjbaker.org
