P: Rotate spot removal tool

"porting existing technology from one application to another" - this is a matter of what's behind the scenes as well as what's on the surface. For example, MS Word can show a table of numbers, and MS Excel can show a table of numbers. But for Word to be able to do the same calculations using those numbers, as Excel does: this is non trivial to port across. Even the addressing of any given cell within this table, will be fundamentally different in nature. Or the distinction between a number 12 and some text "12" is not there. PS and LrC both show picture information and let you change how it looks - but not by remotely comparable means 'under the hood'; hence the utterly different toolsets available.  

I would really welcome the possibility to flip, mirror or rotate cloned areas in the Heal panel. It would be extremely useful to have this function in Lightroom Classic without having to switch to Photoshop. This would also keep the workflow non-destructive as all edits would be written inside LR catalog (or XMP file) without having to create a PSD or TIF.

[won't have the intended effect] - Yes, it was an unsatisfactory long shot! Brushed masks, as with spot removal, cannot be free-transformed.

Can we rotate the adjustment brush mask in Adobe Lightroom?

I sometimes need to swap eyes around, it would be super helpful if I could rotate a cloned spot to line up eyes better.  Thanks!
