And a very nice and intuitive one also. The problem with the current implementation is however that it tries to heal while you are painting. This doesn't quite work. I think it would be better if, while you are painting, the tool would work like the clone tool. Then, when the mouse is released, the healing algorithm should be applied on the area selected by the paint stroke. > A bug has been reported when source and destination areas are of > different depth.

Why does it not make sense to heal a region in an image using a texture from another image, or from another layer in the same image? The clone tool supports this nicely, so it seems to make some sense that the heal tool supports it as well. > The current implementation needs an alpha channel but I don't understand > why? The implementation needs to be able to deal with an alpha channel. I don't know the current code very well, but I think that for simplicity everything is promoted to RGBA.
