This does not bode well. There may be more problems.

i read the instructions on how to use the healing brush.i used ctrl click to establish a sample point,then attempted to heal and it didnt work.

after ctrl-click , drag the sampled area to the target area , then click to apply

Yooper: you really must be MUCH MORE specific in terms of the question or issue you're having, so that those that can help, will. Screenshots, step-by-step, will help.

there is no way i can be more specific

Of course there is! Use a free tool like Skitch or Jing (google for either), and post screenshots.

That sounds more like Clone, in GIMP. And as Andy said, be more specific for more specific and better answers~

Or just [Print Scr] then GIMP- create from Clipboard

It sounds like the OP might be confused between clone and heal.

Bottom of the toolbox window has all the dialogs for the tools. If you can't see them, you need to expand the bottom of the menu or scroll down.

For healing or cloning I usually use one of the soft edged round brushes (fuzzy round).

It's slightly more complicated to create your own brushes, but it doesn't sound like something you need to do.

i successfuly adjusted the brush size.thank you.my last question,i believe.is how do i upload pics from from my cardreader to gimp?

You don't. GIMP isn't a container. Gimp is to pictures what OpenOffice (LibreOffice) writer is to text documents. It's an editor, not an organizer.

when i hit file open about 20 pics went into gimp.im not sure where they came from
