I'd like for there to be a random or fractal, whatever
clone mode so that it would clone from the general area
but offset randomly so that patterns wouldn't develop and
the cloned area would look more realistic without doing
it twice.

It would be cool for a clone tool to have a mirrored clone
so that if the right edge of an object is ok but the right side
isn't that it could be cloned. It would even be better to have
a clone on a rotated plane or clone along a path...
This would be like you could set the copy from to an
line and then set the target to an area. Then you could
copy something to another regardless of the angles of
the two areas. I guess I could copy and paste into another
file and use it that way.

Does this make sense?

I wish I could flip the tool palette horizontally.

Dear Adobe,

This is nothing new but... How about a colour ramp such as was in the
original Altamira Composer a decade ago. With the colour ramp you could
create gradients in a box using a different colour in each corner. Very
handy for filling in areas with varying tones, which is asked about often
enough in this NG. You guys could have done something similar or better with
your eyes closed. You did it for Illustrator back in ver.8. What's the
hold-up for Photoshop?
