hi bascially how can i clone the same image lots of times by dragging the mouse all over the page.

Open a pic >

choose a selection tool (maybe the rectangular marquee or lasso etc) >

make a selection (a face,house clouds whatever)>

click edit copy

choose the move tool

click edit paste

click the area that was selected and drag somewhere else.

now you have two faces on the same pic


Is this basically what you wish to do

This happen accidently but now its back to normal cloning how do i get the duplcate effect again thats my quetion.

Depending on the version of PS you are using, in the tool options bar there is an option that says "sample all layers".

When using this option, create a new layer (like you said you did, good) and make sure it is selected in the layers pallette.

Next, select the clone stamp from the toolbar, and and check "sample all layers" from the tool options bar.

Selectively turn on or off layers you do/do not want to clone from in the layers pallette.

Clone as you normally would, but all changes will be made/applied to the new layer.

(Try it my way, it might work...)

You can 'clone' a layer by dragging it onto the 'create a new layer' button in the layer pallet.

Once created, you can control transparency by setting blending options for the new layer.

You can also work on it independent of the original image layer.
