# well...it's not exactly the best tool in the box
but you get the rubber stampy thing. you select a source area you wish to duplicate (in gimp it's ctrl+ left click on area, ps i think might be alt) then you paint where you want to duplicate the colours of your source area.

there's a couple of options, you can have the source area fixed, or the source area can move the same distance and direction as your brush, while you paint.

# Thank you muchly for the advice. I know HOW to do it, but can't get good results.
Practice I suppose. Meh. I spend a lot of time messing about with images, but my skills remain poor. The dream is to acquire tattyshop and do some tutorials. At the moment it's paint.net, which leaves little scope for actual changes.

# yeah but bear in mind what pasa said up there^
clone tool is pretty shitty. Especially if you're trying to go for large area removal. clone tool only gives decent results over a length scale of typically a few brush diameters.

# Aye, I've found this too. What are the other options though? Copy/paste + layering?
I think I need to get used to gradient colouring to replicate certain lighting effects, because that's the killer for me in this compo.

# masking bits if you can. um, fartarsing around with colour levels.
I dunno, I don't really do image manipulation. I draw silly things on my tablet and that's that.
