Mark's Quick Gimp Tip & Double Take
|

Did you ever need to remove an object from a photo and found yourself using the
clone tool for endless hours? The process involves grabbing various bits of
background elements and overlaying/cloning them onto the foreground. Well, the
Gimp plug-in called Resynthesize
comes to the rescue! And the great news is, it's available in the PCLOS
repository! Once installed, you're just a couple of clicks away from modifying
images in a revolutionary way. In the example below, I was able to remove an
entire building and have background elements redrawn automatically. It's
seamless. Simply select the element you want removed, then go to
Filters>Map>Resynthesize. In the new pop-up window you can
accept the default settings or tweak them a bit by varying the sample of
neighboring horizontal and vertical pixels. Click Okay and the plug-in does the
rest!
