It would be great to have a heal AND and clone function.

I am a lontime Aperture user and looking for a new library & editing program.

Aperture allows you to heal- it blends whatever you mark with surrounding pixels and is more subtle than clone

Clone - well we are all clear on that..

Also, to change the size of brushes is labour intensive. Aperture  allows you to use the scroll button on the mouse to adjust the size, this means  you can work so much faster. Softness is a slider but if it was already visible in the toolbar it would also save you additional clicks. This may sound pedantic but when you are used to this it speeds up the work process significantly.

Hoping you will add this feature

Thanks

    You can use the left and right bracket keys to adjust brush size

    I do all my healing and cloning in ANY other program.  There isn't even a Done button.

    Healing and cloning should also be done on a separate layer.

    Since my early days of using Luminar 2018 I have used the SnapHeal CK as a plugin for Healing and Cloning. While not as good as the healing tools in PhotoShop, the price was right and under most circumstances worked pretty well.
    I appreciate that Skylum deems SnapHeal an EOL product, and that the Heal and Cloning tools in Luminar 3 are OK (not perfect), it would good to see Luminar 3 incorporate some of the decent healing and cloning features. 
    Whilst the CK products may be EOL, I find it hard to understand while it can't be used as a plugin like a lot of the other semi dead products that Luminar 3 has found on my hard drive eg the old Nik Software products that I rarely use...and yet there they are in my plugin list.
