Picture Repair

[TeckyWalla]

Relatively new to Gimp,
I have a picture I have got as far as selected a portion and prodused an Alpha channel. 
Part of the picture has fractured  item I need to make whole using the remaining existing part half  that is left.
What is the best tool to use to enable this? Clone or Healing tool maybe?
Any and all help gladly welcome.

Your last post was four years ago. Are you still using Gimp 2.something (there is no 2.14) ?

To give advice on :

Really need you to post the part of the image you want to repair. But I would usually go for the clone tool. Otherwise, a select / copy / paste / move All depends on the image.

If the portion that needs repairing (and is the same one colour) I would firstly use the clone tool to get your colour in there then use the heal to smooth it out. Cloning a large area can look bad if left as is unless you can do it 'aligned'.
If it is just a small area the heal tool would probably suffice.

I am using the latest v3,2.4
Been away from gimp for a long time now.
I am also looking at the Healing tool, which seems like a good candidate.
The photo I need to edit has an object in front of part of the image, I need to remove this object and replace it with the complete item in the background.

If the area behind it is fairly contiguous you can use the clone in align.
