Ive worked on this for several hours and Im hoping there is a simpler way to make a clone stamp tool because this project if giving me a killer headache.
Its for a simple photoshop-type app that helps users make website backgrounds.
I need to make a clone stamp tool that has fuzzy edges so it blends in with the image (just like the clone tool in photoshop). At first I thought it would be easy to draw a gradiant line and then use it as a gradian mask for a copy of the image. For some reason though, the gradient line fill only reveals a gradient shape, it doesn’t actually make a line that is solid in the center and fades out like the gradient line tool in photoshop.
Since that dint work im working with pixel bender to make a kernel that kind of makes a gradient line, but I thought it might be a good idea to ask if someone has done this or can point out a simpler way to make it.
Thanks
