Select Point Clone Plus. A large panel appears (Figure 8.43).
9. Enter a few settings:
For Random Rotation:
Min H 20
Min B 30
For Random Size:
Min 0.75
Max 1.0
10. Leave all other settings at their defaults. Basically, the Point Clone Plus tool will
generate duplicates of the foreground layer (the ball) based on the position of the
points in the background layer. The values you??™ve just set are simply adding some
randomness to the duplicated objects. Click OK to close the Point Clone Plus tool
and see what happens (Figure 8.44).

Figure 8.43 Once the Point Clone Plus tool is set up, you??™ll be able to duplicate your foreground
object based on the point positions in the background layer.
Figure 8.44 The Point Clone Plus tool creates 35 duplicates of the ball (grape), each with
randomness throughout.
11. Wow! Those are some fat grapes! Why did this happen? The size of the initial ball
was too large based on the position of the points. Click Ctrl+z (Cmd-z on the
Mac) to undo the Point Clone Plus operation.
12. Press Shift+h for the Size tool, and size down your grape about 30%.
