Hi!

I have a photo with one big bloom and on the uper side of the photo and on ther right side I have some leaves and bloms which I want to remove and replace with the background of the photo. I did try with the clone tools and with the healing tool but it is no good. Also copy part of the bacgrond and paste doesn't work.

What is the best method for my case, please.

Thanks...

From my POV, there is not enough information to answer the question, as you've not provided [a link to] the image in question, and in my experience, the "best method" is rather image specific (that is, what might be the best method for one image might not be the best method for another image, even though the two images might seem highly similar.)

May I recommend visiting your local library, and borrowing (through interlibrary loan if need be) a copy of one of the editions of Akkana Peck's book, /Beginning GIMP - From Novice to Professional/, which devotes considerable space to demonstrating various techniques for doing what you wish. If I interpret the headers of your email correctly, it seems to originate from the US state of Wisconsin, and there are a half dozen copies held by various libraries around the state. I note that the website of the publisher, Apress, includes chapter 2 of the second edition ("Improving Digital photos" as a book extra on it's website

This seems to be a tool which I could find useful, thanks for the reference. Are there instructions somewhere on how to use it, please, or did you work it out for yourself?
