But in this case, I will be doing straight image-in-image cloning using the Soft Cloner, which as the name suggests, paints the original image back in with a soft, translucent, feathered edge.

I have the option of cloning with one of the many artistic brushes such as Bristle Oil, Chalk-, and Fine Gouache Cloners for example. To do this, first select the Santa image in the Clone Source panel and then, choosing a cloning brush from the Brush Selector. It now time to start cloning our Santa on to our background image.Here we can see the Clone Source panel with both images loaded. Returning to my Clone Source panel, I am also going to load my background image by clicking on the Open Source Image… icon once more, so that I will be able to use both my background and Santa images as clone sources.Just click on the Open Reference Image… icon to load the image. Under Window > Reference Image, I could also open the Santa picture within the Reference Image panel, if for example, I wanted to sample the colors for painting Santa in by hand using one of the many beautiful brushes available in Corel Painter 2015.After loading, the Santa image will now appear as a clone source in my Clone Source panel.At the bottom of the Clone Source panel, I click on the Open Source Image icon to load my Santa image.Because I am going to be working with two images, I am going to open up the Clone Source panel by going to Window > Clone Source.
