Paint Tools:

The Paint Tools allow you to draw, fill, erase, clone and otherwise manipulate your image. These tools vary in difficulty from the ease of the eraser to the challenge of the Clone Tool. An important thing to remember about the clone tool is that it doesn't clone to transparent areas, so you may have to merge, say, a white background with your image to use this tool effectively..

CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING:
See if you can fill selections you create. See if you can create gradients of your own design, and use the built in patterns for gradients. Try all of the drawing tools and notice their differences (Pencil, Brush, Airbrush, Ink). Try the clone tool on the provided Bass image.
