image manipulation

I'm not very photogenic (massive understatement), and I don't actually have all that many pictures of myself. The ones I do have tend to be group shots, like the one I'm currently using for my default. I'd like to be able to do some simple tweaking to -- in this case -- edit out the shoulder of the next person over and maybe replace it with more of the leafy green background that's visible in the rest of the picture. But the best tool I've got available is PaintShop Pro, and while I'm sure it's *possible* to do stuff like this, I find I have none of the correct instincts. I'm not even sure what topics I should be looking up in the documentation.

Sometimes the gaps in my computer knowledge are annoying. Oh well.

In this picture, I simply painted (actually airbrushed) over the background with a nondescript color. But I find the results unsatisfying.

Oh, all right.
