clone tool question

Robert Greene
Is there a way to add more than one brush anchor point per clone layer. If I want to clone 5 objects I have to make 5 layers. I would like to be able to have all of my cloned stuff in one layer.

    No there isn't, though sometimes one anchor point will serve for removal of more than one blemish.

    What are you trying to clone out? Is it a suitable case for the spot removal tool?

    It was a senior photo in a basketball gymnasium. Just multiple distractions, there was another instance where I maxed out my number of layers with 14 layers of cloned items. But I don't remember the circumstance of that photo. It wasn't something the spot tool would take care of. I also noticed that the spot tool has a limit too. If you have someone with really rough skin, you will run out of spots.

    OK - just in case it was multiple small items.

    In that case, you are better of doing that kind of cloning work in something like Photoshop or Affinity Photo. You can do the rest of what you want to do to the image in Capture One, then export a TIFF to the editor of your choice.

    I first had the same question....it does not make sense to me that C1 can’t handle this in one layer...LR shows how easy it could be....but I guess we might see it in v13 ....upgrade for only 199$!
