GIMP: Chapter 6: Erasing and Touching

What is the purpose of the DODGE tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool)? 
To correct small parts of an image that are too dark.

What is the purpose of the BURN tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool)? 
To correct small parts of an image that are too light.

Why is the DODGE/BURN tool considered a drawing tool? 
Because it uses a brush and lets you drag around the image. You can also use it to make shadows along one side of an object you've drawn, to give the object a three-dimensional look.

What is the purpose of the SMUDGE tool? 
Picks up color underneath it and then distributes that color as you drag your mouse across the image.

Briefly explain how you get the CLONE to work: 
Set the "clone source" by clicking while holding the CTRL key down, then click and drag over the area you want to cover. Rinse and repeat.

What is the purpose of the HEAL tool? 
Combines the texture from the source layer with the color and lighting of the destination layer, similar to the CLONE tool.

What is the purpose of the PERSPECTIVE CLONE tool? 
To clone with perspective - on images of scenes or objects that extend away or up from the viewer.

Briefly explain the two purposes of the CONVOLVE tool: 
To blur and sharpen.

What is the purpose of the GAUSSIAN BLUR filter? (Note: This is a FILTER, not a TOOL.) 
To blur large areas of an image so that you do not have to use the CONVOLVE tool.

Which tool would be the appropriate tool to get rid of wrinkles on someone's face? 
Personally, I would use the CLONE or HEAL tools.
