Hi, is there a way to clone with first click to copy and to clone it on another place? I don´t like the way marking with brushes etc. Thanks, lars

  Assuming you mean Clone not Heal...
  
  If you create a Clone layer, you can select the brush tool (shortcut B) then Alt-click to set the source point (much as you would in other software, like Photoshop), then let go and brush where you want it cloned to.
  
  (It works the same way for a Heal layer too.)
  
  Or is that not what you meant?

  Thanks, Ian. I hoped to find a simpler way without marking and this arrow... Only: Click and Stamp. But now I become a feeling for it; may be. Best, lars

  EDIT: I think it is clear now: the Help says, only one point per layer, I didn´t remember.
  
  Hi, let me ask some more. My Problem in the moment is to stamp away vignettes. No, it does not work with the C1-function which makes the hole pic more bright; and if the pic needs less bright the vignettes come back. But my problem is more generally.
  So it seems to be necessary to make two layers. One for the left, one for the right corner.
  Or is there a methode to stopp the work after finish one corner. Then go to the next without putting the source arrow to the next point? But that is not very importend. The book I learn with does not tell about.
  If working on layer two it seems to be that the clone is set not from layer one but the background? Is there a way to fix background and first layer to the background? Not importend too.
  
  My main problem is: 1. set a layer=clone, 2. copy a source point with Alt-click. 3. setting the clone point to stamp something away; or not stamp only once but drawing a bigger mask. Right? Click background and one sees a result. Then it is possible to move the start of the arrow if the result is not ok. But what I not understand: often there comes up a part of the pic, a roof to the sky... but the roof lies under the line of the arrow.
  There is the source point moved, I think. In other programms I remember, one can set that source point and goal move parallel, as it is said above. How to stop this? How to set the source point fixed, please? Has it to do with automatic mask?
  
  Sometimes a good way is start with clone layer, then change to repair, and the colour becomes better. But it is not allways a good result. Thanks, lars
