What does the Clone Stamp tool do?

The Clone Stamp tool is designed to duplicate a specific area of an image. When you use this tool, you can select a source point in the image, and as you click or drag on another part of the canvas, it replicates the content from the source point to the targeted area. This is especially useful for tasks such as removing unwanted elements from an image, repairing imperfections, or even creating artistic effects by duplicating sections of a picture.

The functionality of the Clone Stamp tool makes it an essential part of photo retouching and digital painting, allowing users to enhance images effectively by copying details from one area and applying it elsewhere. This capability distinguishes it from other tools that are designed for different purposes, such as adding colors or adjusting brightness.
