The inspiration for the Healing Brush came from something you might hear in a Physics 101 lecture: When you place a piece of metal on a heated surface, heat diffuses through the metal until it reaches a steady state. But what does heat diffusion have to do with pixel restoration? More than you might think. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dave mentions Poisson image editing and the Laplace equation, but overall he keeps the discussion out of the techier weeds.  If you eat that stuff for breakfast & want something more bracing, you could try this math-heavy 1-pager<\/a> on covariant image reconstruction from Todor Georgiev, who is featured in Dave’s write-up.\t<\/p>\n
