I have the e-book 'Beginning Photo Retouching and Restoration Using GIMP' (it used to be freely downloadable from it-ebooks.info, but that seems to have gone). The book says: 'Resynthesizer is actually a suite of scripts, but the one that you'll be using is called Heal Selection'. I can show you the 8 pages that deal with it: http://home.kpn.nl/shiems/repairing_heavy_damage.pdf The image to practice: http://home.kpn.nl/shiems/cracks_and_creases.jpg
