Cloning using Photo Pos Pro - FREE & Easy to use Photoshop Alternative !

Esmeralda put this pic on Flickr, from her trip to Mexico or somewhere forren!... and she complained that something was missing from the bottom right corner... I suggested a crop, or cloning some foliage... she did not want to crop any further, and does not know how (easy it is) to clone, especially with Photo Pos Pro. which is similar in layout and functionality to Photoshop...

Here is her original ....

and this is the "clone" version....


So.... how easy is it....

How to “clone” using  PhotoPosPro

First….. Download and install Photo Pos Pro. From here…..

http://download.cnet.com/Photo-Pos-Pro/3000-2192-10264444.html?part=dl-PhotoPosP&subj=dl&tag=button

Once installed. It looks pretty much like Photo shop…

File > Open (find the pic you want to work on, and “open” it)…

On the left hand margin….. Select the “clone brush”… (10th icon from the top)

(You can select the "size" and shape of the brush on the small drop down box on the right of the workspace)

Move cursor across the pic to a suitable starting point for cloning…. Then Right Click on the start point….

Now move the cursor to where you want the “clone” to appear,  Left click and hold, and move the cursor about and watch the “clone” appear…

You can see where the clone is coming from, by watching the “original” right click position…

Easy Innit! ! ! …
