The Smudge tool uses the current brush to smudge colors on the active layer or a selection. It takes color in passing and uses it to mix it to the next colors it meets, on a distance you can set.
You can find the Smudge tool in various ways :
Through → → in the image menu.
By clicking on the tool icon:
in Toolbox.
or by pressing the S key on keyboard.
The Shift key places the smudge tool into straight line mode. Holding Shift while clicking will smudge in a straight line. Consecutive clicks will continue smudging in straight lines that originate from the end of the last line.
The available tool options for the Smudge Tool can be accessed by
double clicking the Smudge Tool icon.
