I was making a DVD cover for a restaurant the other day and needed to remove some text from the pic. Since GIMP doesn't seem to have a clone took, I had to use PhotoDeluxe (which I really don't want to do). So I was wondering, is there a way to emulate a clone tool in GIMP?

There certainly is a clone tool in the GIMP. In the toolbox it looks like a stamp, and hovering over it says "Paint using patterns or Image Regions".

You could use the clone tool for that ;-)

In the tool box, click on the little stamp icon ...

The little stamp icon exists in Gimpshop, too. Also, you can reach the clone tool in a few ways:

1) shortcut key: S 2) in the main window: File > Window > Tools > Clone Stamp Tool 3) in the image window: Window > Tools > Clone Stamp Tool 4) in the image window: > Tools > Paint Tools > Clone Stamp Tool

My question to you is, would you mind sharing with us what can be done with a clone tool?

And the shortcut for clone tool is C Ctrl+C lets you pick place witch you want to clone. Cloning's shape takes the shape of tool (pen, pencil brush).

1) shortcut key: S

Shortcut key for cloning is C. Although shortcut S you'll love to aply after cloning for smudgeing.

Right, for Gimp. I was referring to Gimpshop, which allows you to remap the shortcut keys to Photoshop-like bindings.

This is one of the big reasons why Gimpshop is a horrible idea. By changing all these things, it adds tons of confusion when trying to give user support.

Robert, please answer Carol's question about gimpshop resources, instead of rudely ignoring it. The gimpshop guy thought forking the project from the get go instead of trying to interact with the community first, so it's only fair that the users who approve of this also fork the support base, instead of polluting the gimp community with confusion.

Ouch! OK. Never to be mentioned again. Only Gimp questions. Got it.
