Smart Clone Ajustments When Pasting

Post by David »

When pasting a smart clone selection is it possible to make ajustments to the smart cloned image before pasting it? On some occasions the pasted image is either too light or too dark or there are brightness / contrast / hue / saturation adjustments necessary for it to blend in correctly with the new image. I am presently accomplishing this by selecting the outline of the smart cloned image as near as possible 'after' I have pasted it which is reasonably successful but I just wonder if there is a simpler method?

I'm not aware of any such adjustment, other than the 3 options under the Mode dropdown: http://prntscr.com/10y8hf3

PS. I also hope Corel does something about the crippled usability of the Smart Clone. It does a great job for removing skin pimples for example, but it really needs a useablity upgrade (we can't even pan the image with the spacebar when Smart Clone is active).

It's a pitty for such a nice tool to be that limited (even the size and rotation are limited to the destination only). I aslo agree with your other post, that a Point to Point drawing mode would be more than welcome.

PS2. I may be dreaming, but I still hope that Corel will add to PSP versatile patching tools some day, like Affinity Photo's Patch tool for example (amazingly effective and versatile).
