image manipulation

[cellio]

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.

I'm in a meeting right now so can't go into it too deeply, but look up the "clone" option in the help files, and I think you'll find what you're looking for.

I think you are lovely. Any picture you put up would be just fine. Not photogenic indeed...*hrumph*

I suppose this is a good opportunity to note that I liked your previous LJ picture better--it seems to match your personality more (or at least my view of it).

This one? I still have it around, but it's something like 10 years old so I thought I'd try something newer. But see previous comment about not having many candidates lying around.

Eventually I'll get around to doing (or getting someone to do) a charicature or something, which wuld be fun to have on hand.
