Clone tool

The clone tool, as it is known in Adobe Photoshop, Inkscape, GIMP, and Corel PhotoPaint, is used in digital image editing to replace information for one part of a picture with information from another part. In other image editing software, its equivalent is sometimes called a rubber stamp tool or a clone brush. A typical use for the tool is in object removal – more colloquially, 'airbrushing' or 'photoshopping' out an unwanted part of the image.
