I've never quite understood the difference between the Healing Tool and the 
Clone Tool (Rubber Stamp), which is what I've always used. I just played a 
bit with the Healing Tool and was able to remove a figure standing in the 
middle of a street rather easily, reproducing the curb element and the 
traffic-lane stripes with nearly no effort.

I don't know of a tool that can sample two areas at once. Maybe someone with 
more experience can enlighten both of us on the advantages of the Healing 
Tool over the Clone Tool. Or let us both know about sampling from two areas 
for blending.
