When many people hear the word “cloning”, they think of duplicating an object rather than removing it. In the case of AKVIS Stamp and other photo-editing cloning tools, both definitions are correct. These types of tools actually create a copy of one area of a digital photograph and paste it onto another. So, while they are creating the duplicate of one fragment, they are also hiding or removing the area where this fragment is being pasted. This makes cloning tools highly versatile, assuming that have decent blending capabilities built into them.
Although many of today’s latest photo editors have some type of cloning utility included as part of the application’s standard tools, they don’t always give the quick and easy results that a lot of people want. Stamp is a plugin that is compatible with several photo editing applications, such as Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop Elements, which tries to make the cloning process “cleaner” and easier. This review will take a look at how well it performs this function.
