Hi to all.
I have MacBook Pro, with Catalina 10.15.6.
I would like to clone an object or a part of a photo in the same photo with the app Photos: is it possible or I need to find another app ?
(I tried with the function "Retouch" but I moved only the texture, and this is not what I need)
Thanks to all

To duplicate an object with Preview, open the image with Preview, then use the command "View > Show Markup Toolbar". In the Markup Toolbar open the menu with the selection tools and select the object you want to clone. I like to use the smart lasso.
Once the object has been selected, use the keyboard shortcut ⌘C to copy it anthem command ⌘V to paste it. then drag the pated version to the spot, were you want to insert it.
For example - I multiplied the statue of the boy with Preview:

Or use the cloning tool in an app like Photoshop Elements for Mac:
Photoshop Elements is great and very versatile for removing objects and replacing the background, but a bit expensive. I suggested Preview, because it is free and already installed on any Mac and really not bad for cloning objects in the same photo or between photos.
The Retouch tool is currently the only option to clone a part of an image in Photos, and it willingly clone the texture, not the colors.
But you can use the Preview.app to select a part of an image, copy it, then paste it into the same image.
