You would use the clone tool when there is a large area (the same colour or pattern/texture) missing from your photo. Depending on where the photo needs fixing you can have your clone tool alignment in fixed or align. It can even be used as a stamp to touch up areas, like buttons etc.
Healing Brush
The
healing brush is useful to remove small areas that you do not want in
the photo. Like dots etc; where there are cracks or creases in photos
and to merge/soften cloned areas where they look too harsh. Too much
use of this though can take away any texture you have in the photo
There is also a heal selection filter. It is not in gimp and has to be downloaded and added. In Gimp Forum they may have a link there to download it. This is useful for getting rid of things like overhead wires or light beams and filling in those areas with the surrounding area.
