The best way to think of this, I believe, is as an enhancement of copy-and-paste. We are all familiar with the problem that if you make your selection large enough to include all of an object, you often get a fringe of unwanted colors. If you make the selection small enough to lose the fringe, the object gets unnatural-looking edges. It ought to be possible to use the healing concept to make a copy that suppresses the fringe -- it could never work perfectly, but would be good enough to be very useful. It makes more sense, to me, to first work this out in the context of copy-and-paste before extending it to tools, which bring in a lot of extra machinery. -- Bill _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
