#GIMP REMOVE OBJECT INSTALL#
– it is probably easy to install on Macs too but I only use Windows and Linux – and I have had it running on Linux too.
#GIMP REMOVE OBJECT PC#
Installing Gimp on Windows is easy – like most PC programs – just visit here and install it. Like Photoshop, it takes some mastering but simple tricks are easy to do. Gimp is free and unlike Photoshop, is available to run natively on PC, Mac and Linux – it is a VERY good photo package and plug-ins make it even better.
#GIMP REMOVE OBJECT SOFTWARE#
I’ve discussed mobile phone packages in a separate blog entry as it is often far more convenient to edit photos on the phone and anyone who under-estimates the power of modern mobiles is in for an eye-opener – for now – another program that has been around for a long time and also handles plug-ins (that is, pieces of (often free) software that you can add to enhance the package) is called Gimp. Photoshop is good and is often referred to as the industry standard, but like Microsoft Word – few of the more advanced features are likely to be used by your average hobbyist and so it really is worth looking at the alternatives unless you’re really committed. I know several photographers who are happy to do this – and several who are not – their results are not that different. Now you COULD fork out large sums for Photoshop, spend a lot of time mastering it and suffer monthly or annual charges to help make millionaires out of the designers. This took all of a minute – let’s see how this was done. In this instance there wasn’t anyone I wanted to remove – but for the purpose of this demo I’ve removed one of our friends. Take a look at the photo to the right – this is a bunch of us this summer, at the annual Galera wine tour in Spain. Depending on the background however it may be possible to make a convincing show of removing the object. As you can imagine – not that simple because the information BEHIND that object – was never photographed.

Perhaps an unwanted tree, animal or sign. Let’s say you’ve taken a holiday photo and there’s something (or someone) in the photo you want to remove. I’ve uploaded approaching 8,000 photos to Flickr over time and that’s just a small selection of the pics I’ve taken over the past 50 years (digital since 1998) – that’s a lot of photo clean-ups.įrom the dawn of digital photography I’ve been trying out different tools to enhance my pictures and in these pages I’ll describe some of them.Īnyway, here’s a quick tip. Normally I put photos in my blogs and leave the reader to wonder how i made them. The title says GIMP but I’ll cover other packages in here – read on. Removing Objects from Photographs in Gimp
