Repairing Pictures.

[jeff of pa]

With Microsoft Photo Editor I could Repair Pictures
By Sliding an Undamaged part over a Damaged one.

Microsoft Photo Editor Dosn't Exist anymore. At least Not Free.

Can this still be done with Infraview ?
IF Yes Can anyone Walk me Through the Process.

On Microsoft Photo Editor I would hit Crop Create a Square on the Pick.
where it was Good then Slide that Square to where it needed Fixed.

I don't think you can do it with Irfanview.

Gimp for Windows http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html is free and has a clone tool and a healing tool that can be used for this.

From the help file:

Thanks ! I'll see How that works.

Infraview has a Cloning Tool in Paint But it is only good for Small Blemishes.
it dosn't seem to work on Large Holes or other large Blemishes
on the Pic. or pretty much anything where you need to clone from the Far Left
Side. And you can't Make a Double Image.

EXAMPLE
From this



to this



Or Visa-Versa





Lexmark Imaging Studio has what I'm after
in their "DRAWING TOOL"
But it has fits at times & dosn't Work.
And I need to Slide the Piece over Several Times
Before it Takes. that is When it does.

I tried Adobe but it was very Complicated & would have only been
a 30 day Free Trial Anyway, So I nuked it from my System.

Most editers have a copy and paste feature. You simply outline the target area (usually with a rectangular selection), right click, select copy, then past into the area you want. Paint will do this. The better programs will allow you to create a new layer from the selection, then you can modify the layer (size, color, orientation, whatever) and position it where you want it.

Paint does this for me
Leaving a Large White area



Not sure What I'm doing Wrong

 

[SomeGuy]

You're cutting instead of copying.

 

[SomeGuy]

Don't normally use Paint, but was just messing around with it and learned this:

If you drag the selection at all, it will cut. You must make the selection, then copy, and, without dragging the selection, paste. The pasted part will appear in the upper left corner, and you ca then drag that to where you want it.

That Worked SOMEGUY

[jeff of pa]

It only gives me one Choice Nick

SG's idea works Though

THANKS
