### 3.14. Perspective Clone

This tool allows you to clone according to the perspective you want. First, set the wanted vanishing lines in the same way as with the Perspective tool. Then copy the source area in the same way as with the Clone tool.

#### 3.14.1. Activating the Tool

There are different possibilities to activate the tool:

- From the main menu: Tools → Paint tools → Perspective Clone.

- By clicking the tool icon in the Toolbox.

#### 3.14.2. Key modifiers

Ctrl

  Ctrl-click allows you to select a new clone source.

Shift

  When the source is set and you press this key, you will see a thin line connecting the previously clicked point with the current pointer location. If you click again, while continuing to hold down the Shift key, the tool will clone along this line. Particularly useful when cloning from a pattern.

#### 3.14.3. Options

Normally, tool options are displayed in a window attached under the Toolbox as soon as you activate a tool. If they are not, you can access them from the main menu through Windows → Dockable Windows → Tool Options which opens the option window of the selected tool. The available tool options can also be accessed by double clicking the corresponding tool icon in the Toolbox.

Operating mode
