I assume you've looked at the docs:
*Show bad patches*: Adds a red border around patch areas that may produce
artifacts in the graphic when stretched. Visual coherence of your stretched
image will be maintained if you eliminate all bad patches
Still not *too* clear what that means, but I'd
Aha, no - I didn't find any links to docs about the program in the Android
