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.

The gimp's rubber-stamp-icon tool lets you 'paint' an area (selected by the
brush type) from one location (selected by ctrl-click) to another (click,
or click & drag to copy more than one blob). I use this for touching up
blemishes.

Ahh, Ok, thanks, I'll take another look...

Yup, Thanks muchly John. Problem is of course, I'm used to PSP (been
using it since v4.12) but I'll persist.

With suitable 'fractal' backgrounds such as lawn and Leylandii, it can
hide blemishes the size of a garden shed.

Well, of course you couldn't.

But it's there.

I never got that much addicted to PSP, and being a Linux-ite now I don't
have that problem anyway!
