as a plugin for gimp

This plugin uses the algorithm for restoring fotos. No doubt the results are very good, but restoring photos is nothing really new.
I am much more impressed by the use for inpainting: Remove lattices or text, or even glasses from a persons face etc., see "Free the bird" and the other "Image inpainting" examples. For this you need a nice GUI to comfortably choose the regions to be removed.

I still think such a feature is great for the marketing department. I once read about Microsoft integrating some inpainting capability in their easy-to-use photo viewer (having spent a lot of money in research). 

CVS commit by cgilles:
