Step by Step Tutorial on Photo Editing with the Clone Tool in PicsArt

written by PicsArt.

Last Friday, we were excited to release the new update for the Android version of PicsArt, which includes the fantastic new Clone Tool. This is a fun new photo editing/photo cloning feature that will open up a whole new door of creativity for our users! We always seek to develop new ways in which our artists can more freely express themselves, and this brand new and unique photo editing tool is one of our favorites. 

Clone Tool is, as you might guess, an image cloning feature that will allow you to multiply a piece of your photo or image and even delete it altogether, giving you greater control over how your finished art will look. It works by copying part of your image and applying it to another part. You select the area to be cloned by using a brush, so there are no limits to what size, shape, or type of area you may clone. Photo cloning is used by many professional photo editors, so using the Clone Tool will be a great primer for all the aspiring editors out there!

There are a number of ways in which you can apply the Clone Tool to your PicsArt images, with some being more practical and others being more creative. The most practical way to apply image cloning is to use it to hide things in your image; by ‘copying’ areas of your photo and applying them to other areas, you can remove something that crept into your photo without permission. On the other hand, you can also use this photo editing feature to make super-creative abstracts and fascinating photo edits. The sky is the limit!
