Good description here…
As for the multiple…you ctrl click so that you can just keep adding the same tool and not have to return to the selection panel each time…
Now I have some things to look at. I have almost gone through the video - it is a great help. Just like the texts.
I have learned a lot from you.

There is some good discussion of the module in the Editing moments thread following the release of that video so depending on your need interest etc you might also find some of that useful…
DT is a great program, but when it comes to doing photo restoration requiring a huge number of spots to remove etc, I do that in GIMP. You have asked a lot of DT in this case.

Hello @Terry,
yes, I have experienced that this approach dt tremendously overwhelmed. But that does not matter now, because I have learned a lot.
Of course I do this work with Gimp, there I can make as many retouches as I want, because Gimp works destructively, we do not load the software.
But:
I have often experienced that I have developed an image elaborately (so far with RT) and then the retouching with Gimp. But if later I think I have to develop the image again and better, then all the work of spot removal is in vain. The idea of being able to do all that with dt excites me immensely.
And, I have to say that it was only yesterday, on this image, that I halfway understood the retouch module. As I said, I’ve learned a lot, and it’s wonderful what you can do with dt. My enthusiasm grows continuously.
I also thank you for your constructive words.

If you have to do a lot with retouch, does it matter if you “add a circle” every time or if you “add a multipel circle” to remove multiple spots? Does the dt load less?
Working destructively makes GIMP fast at this approach. To be less destructive with GIMP, duplicate the layer and do the edits on the duplicated layer. Then if you make a mistake you have the option of using a layer mask to reveal the original again. Also save the work as an xcf file extension to preserve all your layers and masks if you feel the need to return to the project later.
But work with which ever program best suits your needs.
