Prevent Heal Tool Sampling from Behind Obscured Layer
Description of the feature
A tool option/modifier for the heal tool to not sample from the obscured layer when using the non-destructive cropping feature.
Use cases
As it is, it always samples pixels from behind the image padding when using the heal tool near the edge of the canvas. This can have undesirable results if you purposely cropped out something and now you are sampling from it.
The only remedy is to use Layer to Image Size so it doesn't sample from the obscured layer, which defeats the purpose of the non-destructive cropping.
Beyond that, it would just make it more flexible to be able to choose with a tool option, or even a key modifier so you could choose on the fly.
Very much like Sample Merged.
