I have no idea who we will help with a non-quick mode.

I see that this tool can be integrated in the clone tool,
for an interaction architect that is a 'done deal.'

I can live with a "clone, and then see the paint dry" effect,
as it gets the job done.

So if you do not heal all defective pixels, you will not have
complete healing? sounds fair enough to me.

I would like to ask you if you can help us with two things:

1) is it possible for the user to incrementally include the defective
pixels in the healing (heal these additional pixels with the brush)
and in a relatively short time, the healing would be 'perfect.'

2) can you in very clever way pretend the defective boundary pixels
should also be healed in order to do a good job on actually to be
healed pixels?

Thanks,
