It´s possible to clone while scaling at same time? - mrkid - 10-02-2025
I mean, if you can make that the clone tool scale the source in realtime while cloning.

The short answer is no (at least as far as I know)
Maybe in stages, depending on what you want to do. You can clone onto a new transparent layer - enable sample merged in the clone tool options. Then as a separate operation scale it.

Agree with rich. Not that I know either.
If cloning only an area of an image you may want to set align to 'align' in the tool settings too.
Another way if you want a part of an image larger or smaller it is to duplicate your original image then scale the duplicate and crop to the part you want.

If you make a (round) selection and copy it, you get a brush from the selection. You can then make this brush smaller or larger and use it in different places. You can also use the 'dynamics' with that brush (if needed)

Maybe the Perspective clone tool
?

Hi! Thanks All! Yes, i know i can to clone to a transparent layer, then scale, but thanks anyway the tip and your time to explain it to me.
About the Perspective Clone tool, it is great! But i cant figure how it will make bigger the source image, i see the change of perspective just. I found a video in youtube showing that it magnifyies the thing, but since the perspective is not showed as a preview, is hard to imagine exactly what it does.

I think a mystery since the beginning of Gimp

I have been watching this video, and i got it. Yes, clone perspective tool can do the job i want. Not exactly, but can help.

Would be useful to just add the option to just scale the result of the cloning, since perspective cloning can scale but at same time it distorts the result.
