Version: 0.9.0-beta1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux I think it would be very helpful to have a clone tool like implemented in gimp which helps to *quickly* remove eg spots in a photo that come from dust on the cameras sensor or as well to remove unwanted objects in a photo. I know for dust spot removal there is CIMG but this tool take quite a very long time (up to several minutes) to complete and with the help of a clone tool it would be a single klick in just a few seconds to remove such a dust spot.
Please do this... The inpainting is really very slow, especially if you have more then one dust particle. Or improve inpainting like this: Be able to select different parts of the image and clean them in one inpainting run! Please do that (and that should be done for other digikam plugins too, in my opinion -> multiple selections) thanks in advance ;-)

Also inpainting can be modified to clean a given selection on many picture. In case for example of a dust in the camera sensor which result on the same dust to remove from all your holiday pics... Please 428 pictures to remove the same spots is really really long and fastidious... :o)
I still vote strongly for cloning. Have you ever tried to remove eg 10 dust particles with inpainting? It seems to be an eternal job. Those 10 dust particles are removed in gimp using the clone tool in just a few seconds. However at the moment you have to start gimp in order to do the job which takes time. Inpaiting has the real disadvantage that it needs too long to do its job, has to many options that may be adjusted. And in many cases the result for spot removal is not as good as a manual cloning which is usually completely invisible even if you look at the photo in 100% zoom. Even cloning could be programmed to work for a series of photos by always cloning the part of the photo at delta_x, delta_y position from the spot. And then again cloning would be even more fast compared to inpainting when it has to be applied to more than one photo.

Gimp has a very easy to use tool to remove spots, e.g. red spots on skin. It is called healer. You can try it out by clicking on the plaster icon in gimp. It works very well.
