If you do any kind of concept art, illustration work, or digital painting in GIMP, you’ll wanna have a look at these brushes. The pack is totally free to download and includes quite a few valuables pieces. They can all work wonders for your digital paintings and the author released these brushes from their own personal set. For years now, GIMP has been one of the best free alternatives for commercial image editing suites like Photoshop or Corel Draw. GNU, (Image Manipulation Program) is a multi-platform open-source tool that lets you perform practically the same actions as paid software.

Patch tool for the GIMP
I'm afraid that I committed a little faux pas by prematurely postingthis as a bug, but I was told to discuss the idea in the mailing listfor the devs to decide whether they want to implement it.
Here's the idea (as posted in my bug) what do you think?
Photoshop's patch tool is very effective for larger areas that need'healing'.
This is a request for a similar tool to be added to the Gimp.
Patching works like this. The user selects the blemish and with the patch toolselected drags that selection to a source region that will replace what hadbeen selected. Of course more than just a replace, it is a sort of blendedreplace that seems to resemble the way the healing brush would blend.
Also as the user is dragging that selection to find a good area to clone from,the originally selected region updates with a somewhat blended view as a sortof preview. I say 'somewhat' because I think it's a quicker algorithm thatmanages to update without taxing the cpu significantly. When the mouse buttonis release, the blend completes.
Please see the reference video for a good example of how the tool works.

Hello

That looks like a good way to patch images to me. Judging from the videthe preview seems to be simply a 'copy-paste' of the area that will beused to patch.
Since I think the algorithm used is the same as for the Healing Tool,implementing this tool should be rather easy. Would probably make senseto let gui.gimp.org study the details of how to make this tool as usableas possible, though the way Photoshop does it looks pretty optimal to me.
Let's hope someone finds the time to look more into this.

Figure 14.96. The “Heal tool” in the Toolbox
This tool was once described as “The healing brush looks like a smart clone tool on steroids”. 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 [GEORGIEV01].
To use it, first choose a brush with a size adapted to the defect. Then Ctrl-click on the area you want to reproduce. Release the Ctrl 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.
There are different possibilities to activate the tool:
From the image-menu: Tools → Paint tools → Heal,
or by clicking the tool icon: in the Toolbox,
or by clicking on the H keyboard shortcut.
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 “Non-aligned” or “Aligned” 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 tool. In source-selection mode, the cursor changes to a crosshair-symbol.
Once the source is set, if you press this key, you will see a thin line connecting the previously clicked point with the current pointer location. If you click again, while going on holding the Shift key down, the tool will “heal” along this line.
Figure 14.97. Heal Tool options
Normally, tool options are displayed in a window attached under the Toolbox as soon as you activate a tool. If they are not, you can access them from the image menu bar through Windows → Dockable Windows → Tool Options which opens the option window of the selected tool.
See the Common Paint Tool Options for a description of tool options that apply to many or all paint tools.
Hard edge: this option gives a hard contour to the healed area.
Brush Tool
If you enable this option, healing is not calculated only from the values of the active layer, but from all visible layers.
See Section 3.12, “Clone” for using Sample Merged in non-destructive image editing.

Although the Heal tool has common features with the Clone tool on using, the result is quite different.
Figure 14.98. Comparing “Clone” and “Heal”
Cloning on the left. All colors are transferred.
Healing on the right. Colors are much less transferred, especially on borders where surrounding pixels of destination are taken in account.
