I also recently designed a PCB for a friends art project where I needed to place a bunch of LEDs in concentric rings. You can see my new board in your browser right here: Open formats means Thea Flowers was able to make a beautiful web viewer that takes a GitHub link to a kicad board or schematic file and displays it for ya. I just finished the third rev of my open source low cost high power brushless motor controller in kicad. Extremely powerful tool with no imposed limits that is completely free and widely used. I also found references to the clone brush, so I looked for it, that sounds more like what you describe.Īnyway, I don't want to attack you or anything, I would just like to point out that in general, when switching tools, it's better to look for the idiomatic way of achieving the same result, than a 1:1 equivalent of every step. I am also less comfortable with it, but I found the 'smart patch tool' in under 30s of looking up 'krita remove part image' in DuckDuckGo. Krita is more of a painting program than an image editor, so this tool is less needed. The 'clone' tool was here since ~2004-2007 (timespan of the 2.2 version) according to the manual, which makes me question your memory, though. the 'clone' tool may be what you are looking for? I tend to prefer the heal tool though. Regarding the heal tool, on my UI (2.10.34) I have to long-press the 'clone' button, next to the eraser, to get it. I understand why you'd just want 'photoshop but free', but there are a lot of reasons why it would be complicated to obtain, if achievable, not to mention.

It may also be related to the 'curse of knowledge' cognitive bias, but you have to unlearn some of what you already know (and doesn't apply here): having a different interface is supposed to help a bit here. It sounds a bit like the xyproblem: what you want is a way to erase part of the picture, not 'the clone/stamp brush in GIMP'. I think what you are looking for in GIMP is the Heal tool.
