Suggest the gimp for serious photoshop-level editing

One of the useful things PSP can do is selective cloning. The user
selects a paintbrush (size/shape/density/opacity etc.) then right clicks
an area in an image to select the source. Left clicking elsewhere then
clones from one place to another with all the attributes previously
selected. This useful for hiding minor blemishes in a textured area. I
was unable to find this facility in the Gimp when I tried it.
