To use GIMP's healing tool, identify the blemish you would like to remove. This works best on small areas of the image that are discolored. Next, identify a more desirable texture or color that you would like to mask the blemish with. For example, if I were editing a girl's portrait and I wanted to remove a blemish on her nose, I would select a patch of nearby skin that matched in color.

To select the "patch", hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and click the desired area. Let go of the Ctrl key and move your cursor over the blemish. Click to insert the patch onto the blemish.

Keep trying at the healing tool. It can be hard to master in some scenarios, but you will soon be a pro. It is a versatile tool that I use on virtually all of my photos, be they landscapes, portraits, macros; you name it!

I hope this has helped you. Good luck!
