Heal selection with Gimp

For people who work with Gimp there is the plugin Resynthesize together with the Python script Heal Selection. On Linux the plugin comes with the package gimp-plugin-registry.

Choose Filters - Enhance - Heal Selection.


Adjust the pixel width (here 300), region (here all around), and fill pattern (here random) to resynthesize the selected area from it's surrounding.
