Retouch an image
You use the Retouch brushes to touch up imperfections in the image caused by sensor dust,
image artifacts, and other environmental conditions. You can also copy an element of an image
and paste it in another area for purely aesthetic reasons. Aperture provides two methods of
retouching your images.
If the area you need to repair has a hard edge near the problem area, you use the “repair”
method. You also use the repair method when you want to copy high-frequency texture from
one area of the image (the source) and brush the texture over the destination area while
maintaining the underlying color and shading of the destination area.

The second method, “cloning,” is used when you simply want to copy pixels from one area and
paste them on another area. Cloning is useful when you want to copy an element of an image
as is (a cloud, for example) and paste it in another area.
