Quoting P AA marmott...@hotmail.com: A friend has downloaded GIMP 2.2 Debian onto my ASUS 900 eee Linux system. I've been playing with it a bit to get familiar. I cannot get several of the tools to work. For example, when I click on the clone tool and try to use it on an image, when I move the mouse to the image, the clone tool has a 'forbidden' sign (circle with bar) above it, and I cannot use it. Truthfully, I had GIMP downloaded to my little laptop so I could make basic manipulations to images: brightness/contrast, cropping/clone tool work, and now I can't get the clone tool to work! Is it possible the program was not properly installed? The problem is that the clone tool requires that you specify what it is you wish to clone. You do this by holding down the CTRL key while pointing the brush at the region to be cloned (which can be on a different layer or image). After specifying the source to be cloned, activate the layer which you wish to paint on (if necessary) and paint as usual. The default behavior is to have the source region track the motion of your brush, but other options are available. Experimentation is recommended. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

This almost certainly means that your window manager is taking the Control+Click before GIMP can see it. This is not usual for KDE, AFAIK, you probably misconfigured something.

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.

And I have learned some new about using the Gimp - layers. First I found out, that the tools worked on some of my older pictures, so I started to investigate where the difference was. I have not come so far in my work with the Gimp, that I have been using the layers, so why the pictures in question were placed as 'background' I don't know - but they were. After having flatened the pictures, everything works. Sorry for the false alarm - and I guess I must be studying the layers.

Re: [Gimp-user] clone tool no entry
Hi John - It's possible that you're just not interpreting the cursor correctly. To use the clone tool you need to (a) select it from the toolbar (b) On the image, move the cursor over the area you wish to clone FROM. (c) Ctl-left-click to set the source of the clone (d) Move your cursor to the area you wish to clone to, and draw using the left mouse button. You will be using the current brush, btw.
