Damien Symonds Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Oh gosh, that's such a great question! I wish I had a great answer Some tools (eg clone and healing) work either way. The Patch Tool needs a duplicate. Often when I'm cloning I might need to include a little bit of patching too, so in those cases I generally duplicate to be safe. But duplicating adds a heck of a lot of file size to your PSD, of course, so it's not always the best idea. If you're cloning, and it's only a small area, a blank layer is ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
