Features
Inpaint focuses on photo editing via simplified semi-automatic tools and mechanisms. The program includes a tool similar to the Healing Brush tool in Adobe Photoshop CS5 with the Content-Aware mode on. Similar to Healing Brush, the tool tries to replace bad or damaged texture with good texture from another area to create a seamless repair of an image.
