The Clone & Heal tool is really great. I really find it easy to use. It would be great to be able to rotate the healed/cloned area. This would be really useful for blending lines. I hope it's clear what I'm trying to ask for, any questions give me a shout.

I was hoping Adobe would go all out with distraction removal in Lr4. Sounds like that shan't happen.

I agree a simple rotation capability would be some consolation.

(if feathering could be controlled too, that would also help I think)

A missed opportunity in LR4 I think..

I think this idea complements the "healing brush" feature request.

As a matter of fact, if one could distort the form of spot removal circles into longish structures and could rotate contents from source to destination that would go a long way to better distraction removal support.

It would be way better to have this than no distraction removal support at all. Even though the respective feature request is the most popular on these pages, it isn't "Under Consideration" yet. I hope that means that work on it is already underway and Adobe is just playing their cards close to their chest.

I'm guessing Adobe will add a Photoshop-like clone/heal brush instead:

but being able to rotate the existing spotter would be helpful. - this should be an 'Idea' instead of a question...
