Add clone/stamp tool

[dsizzle]

Since we deleted a tool and need a new one, ArtPaint could use a clone/stamp tool

• Select a reference/sampling point with right click
• Drawing with left button copies the area from the reference point
• Should have "Use current brush" option
• Should have "All layers" vs "Current layer" for sampling
• Maybe a "jitter" option to jiggle the sample area while drawing?

Plus the popular "Pressure" slider.

One thing I like from Photoshop's clone tool is that the reference point moves along with the mouse pointer. Can we have that, too?

I'd love that! I've found the Gimp's Clone Tool very useful on occasion.

Yeah, I think that's necessary otherwise the tool isn't super useful. Doesn't photoshop have 2 modes?
Something like:

1. reset to reference point at the start of every stroke
2. maintain current relative offset for new strokes

I had a quick look at the extremely old Photoshop lite or whatever I have installed at work.
It has two modes, one to stamp a fixed pattern, and one cloning another part of the image. I've only used the second, clone mode.

You hold ALT, the pointer changes to a crosshair, you move the mouse to the spot that will become the clone source, you left-click and let go of ALT. Next time you left-click the source pixels are inserted, maintaining the relative offset while you move. While cloning, the source spot is marked with a sort of ghosty shadow-brush that is following your brush movement.
SHIFT limits movement horizontally/vertically while cloning.

Something like that would be nice...
