# Using the Recursive Clone Medium

Use the Recursive Clone medium to make multiple copies of an area of an image. The result image and the paint applied to it is used as the source. Each copy is a degraded version of its predecessor. The offset between the origin point and the destination point is set in the Offset fields.

To paint using the Recursive Clone medium:

1. Click Custom and select Recursive Clone from the Custom Media box.

   The Recursive Clone options appear.

   (a) Offset fields

2. Click Canvas.
3. Set the offset between the origin point and the destination point in the Offset fields.

   A red tracking circle appears around the destination point.

4. Paint on the image.

   The image contained within the green circle brush is copied to the region defined by the red circle.
