Clone from screen... do you believe it is usefull? - mrkid - 10-19-2025
Hi. Working on some photo retouching i found usefull to clone some details from other pictures, elements from background, textures, etc. Usually i navigate that stored photos trough some external program, like could be xnview. Would be interesting be able to "clone" from any portion of the screens you have, instead to open the file in Gimp.
just saying...

Clone from off-canvas ? You can ask for an enhancement https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues Do not expect much.
Hardly worth the effort but.... https://sendvid.com/1k5eojyi
Which shows
File -> Create -> Screenshot Not sure if that is still working with Windows. Give a delay to minimise Gimp otherwise you get a screenshot of Gimp.
That opens in Gimp as another image
The clone tool in registered mode clones from one image to another.
