Reverse Clone or Heal Flow
Operating System: All
The heal tool and also the clone tool requires a good understanding of it for getting optimal results.
Most of the time, the focus is on a very specific destination area while the source area to copy from is not so well defined. It takes experimentation to get the best results.
It would be an awesome use of computing power to optionally reverse the work flow as follows:
- [Ctrl+Click] in the source area once to start the process
- Click on the destination area once to clearly define the fixed destination area and take note of the coordinates
- [Ctrl+Drag] the source area and watch how the destination gets updated dynamically until the best result is achieved.
- Take note of the source coordinates and release the mouse button
This way, one actually paints in the source area not the destination area, that is why I call it reverse.
The effect of this would also be that one learns much more quickly how the heal tool is used with best results.
