I use the inpainting and healing brush tools the most, great video. Thanks.

[@stevenlitvintchouk3131]

I've used Inpainting and Patch tools the most often. The Blemish Removal tool seems to be a holdover from the old days when you needed a separate tool for that, before the Inpainting tool became so powerful.
I didn't even know about the Sources panel and how it worked until you just explained it! Thank you.

Hi Steven! Yes, you may be right. Some tools may be older and Affinity just kept them around for people who are used to them.

[@cremecut6659]

Great. Need to see which of these are in Designer

[@roycejohnson929]

For larger object removal I use the free hand selection tool. Then go to edit, fill, inpainting, apply. I tend to use the other tools as well for smaller problem areas. Cheers

[@TechnicallyTrent]

Thanks for sharing, Royce...there's definitely many good ways to do object removal!

[@andyatmosphere]

Trents tutorials are the best I've ever seen!

[@TechnicallyTrent]

Thanks AndyAtmosphere! I appreciate it.

Awesome. Did not know about the "global" feature where you cloned the cat, that was pretty clever!

[@AllenReinecke]

I use the inpainting and clone tools the most. You managed to clear up some of my issues with the other tools, like patch and blemish. 👍

[@jacobvaldez8794]

Very cool! I never knew the other options worked basically the same as the clone brush, but with different blending effects.

[@EngineerRon]

Great stuff, as always! Thanks, Trent! 😁🎨

[@nadineappletini]

Great tutorial. Learned a lot again. Thanks for all the in-depth look into the tools. I often got stuck bc I never chose "layer and below" 😀

[@TechnicallyTrent]

Yes, that is something I always forget too!

Very interesting! Good Job, Thanks!

[@mtm7031]

I learned a lot again.
