Clone Tool Basics

This video tutorial is based on a previous version of Acorn, and while the UI might look different, the concepts and functionality still remain.

In the latest versions of Acorn, the clone tool has been updated to give you a preview of what your brush stroke will look like before drawing. In addition, a new on-canvas widget is available which lets you know exactly where the source is coming from, which you can move around to pick a new clone source. Pressing the Option key to reassign a clone location still works as usual. And just like the previous iteration of the clone tool, you can clone from other images or layers into any bitmap layer.
