- This tool was once described as “<span class="quote">The healing brush looks like a
- smart clone tool on steroids</span>”. And indeed the Healing Tool is a
- close relative to the Clone Tool, but it is more smart to remove small
- failures in images. A typical usage is the removal of wrinkles in
- photographs. To do so, pixels are not simply copied from source to
- destination, but the area around the destination is taken into account
- before cloning is applied. The algorithm used for this, is described in
- a scientific paper by Todor Georgiev

- To use it, first choose a brush with a size adapted to the defect. Then
- <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span>-click on the area you want to reproduce. Release the
- <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> key and drag the sample to the defect. Click. If the
- defect is slight, not very
- different from its surrounding, it will be corrected as soon. Else, you
- can correct it with repeated clicks, but with a risk of daubing

- The Ctrl key is used to select the source. You can heal from any
- layer of any image, by clicking on the image display, with the
- Ctrl key held down, while the layer is active (as shown in the
- Layers dialog). If Alignment is set to “<span class="quote">Non-aligned</span>”
- or “<span class="quote">Aligned</span>” in Tool Options, then the point you
- click on becomes the origin for healing: the image data at that
- point will be used when you first begin painting with the Heal
