Still learning how to use Gimp 3, I decided today to learn how to use the Clone Tool
and the adjustment setting that goes with it. In my example here. I used it to fix the unwanted
leaf spots first. I also used a green color Layer to help recolor a few places. Mainly the red
Leaf that is a sore thumb. Then once that was done, I used the Free Select Tool to copy
a good section of a leaf to replace over it to blend in and over it. With the top right Leaf, I used the
good side of it to fix the bad side doing the same thing.

Then I fixed the very lower leaf in the dark shadow, that had holes in it,
doing the same thing with the Free Select Tool there, by pasting and blending in. Last I fix
the few berries that stuck out in the same fashion with the Clone Tool.

After that I fixed the two stems that were gapping my attention. One by cloning it away and
the other I used a color layer to tone it down. Then I duplicated the finished layer and adjusted the
brightness with a blending mode of screen. Then last I added a Info strip at the bottom.
