Fix your image the easy way using the clone tool and others with the free program GIMP
You have the PERFECT image… except for that one annoying thing in the background (a hand, a person, a sign, a fly on the wall, whatever…) Let me show you some tools you can use to make your image the masterpiece it deserves to be.
This is a quick and easy tutorial, under 5 minutes long. Get the full course FREE here.
There are many tools available for editing and creating images. One of my personal favorites has always been Adobe Photoshop, but then again, I’ve never had to buy Photoshop. My universities have always provided Adobe software so I can best teach and help my students.
So what else can you use if you are limited on budget and time and aren’t ready yet to invest in expensive software? Gimp is an excellent free tool that you can download and use on a Mac or a PC. What’s even better is that it has a similar interface and similar tools as Photoshop so if you ever decide to upgrade, the transition will be far less painful than learning a new program again from scratch.
This quick and easy tutorial uses the free program GIMP to easily remove something annoying in the background of an image. Download it at https://www.gimp.org/ and feel free to follow along with me.

Hi Kristen,
Thanks for another very useful tip.
I was using a program called YouZign which they marketed as more affordable than Photoshop.
Since Gimp is free, call me old-fashioned, but I find that even more affordable again and it seems to have lots of bells and whistles too. 🙂

Looks pretty simple. I actually use this: http://www.coreldraw.com/en/pages/photo-background-change/index.html to change my photo background and it works great , but i needed a similar alternative for my other PC and this looks like it will work out. Thank you very much for sharing 🙂
