Using Photoshop CS6, I have a PNG with some transparencies with soft edges.

I need to clone a semi-transparent area, but when I do that I always end up overlapping the original image, losing the original transparency.

An analog procedure is to create a transparent square/rectangle starting with just a transparent triangle and without losing the original transparency info.

Clone your area to a new layer

When done, Command/Ctrl-click the original layer to load it as a selection.

Then add a layer mask to your clone layer. This will mask out any pixels associated with the original image.



Alternatively, you can clone areas to the same layer and merely click the option to lock transparency before you start cloning.
