Send in the clones

The new Clone Source palette should make life much easier for people who do a lot of retouching and compositing, and it works very nicely in conjunction with the enhanced Vanishing Point filter. The latter now allows you to create connected planes at odd angles (1). You can cache as many as five clone sources from other layers, files (2), or, in the case of Photoshop CS3 Extended, other frames. In addition to being able to rotate, scale, and offset the source (2), Photoshop can display an overlay so that you can see how it aligns to the clone target (3). Then brush it on (4). The overlay is great, but I'd love to be able to drag it into position rather than tweak the offset parameters.
