Have something in your photo that you need to get rid of? Can’t afford Photoshop? In this tutorial, I teach you how to remove objects in your photo using the free photo editing software GIMP version 2.8. We primarily use the clone tool, and you can also use the airbrush tool and the path tool to get the job done.

Thanks Man!!!
Excellent!! You are a great teacher!
Photoshop's Spote Healing Brush tool could do this in like 2 seconds. GIMP is garbage.
Is there a way to remove dvd logo on dvd inlay and replace it with blu ray logo in gimp?
What sorcery is this!?!
Wonderful and helpful. Thank you MIchael.
Thank you…Would you please tell me how can I use erasure tool to clean the background after make it transparent?..for those little spots here and there…
wow..just finished watching a Photoshop equivalent and I still love GIMP
I got easy way if you have access to the area. And the object can be moved.
Lets say you record a very good video and then "oh i forgot to remove the lamp" but you don’t want to do it all over again.
You just don’t move the camera and remove that lamp then take a picture, cut that area you want to replace the lamp and then place it over.
100% easy and clean image.
However, thanks for a good tutorial. I saved a lot of money for Photoshop.
im all about that gnu/debian life baby ………..to al you SCRIPT KIDDIES!!!!!!!!!!!………..
i use KALI LINUX
Helped me so much. Thank you!
This video doesn't need to be 20 minutes.
I've watched several tutorials and still got no answer. If you drag your clone brush too far, you get your OLD image copied, but instead, I'd like it to copy just the freshly drawn image, the image that you see already, so you can draw a straight line into infinity. It's shown at 6:18 – you needed to stop, because it would copy the lamp image. I've played with settings, searched for videos and still to no avail.
Did I miss it, is there a place to download this photo to practice and follow along with?
bro how to remove edited photo .. cuz i want to see what she hide on that photo . i screen shot her photo . she put a graffiti on that photo and she hide somthing..
How did you managed to remove the lamp in this photo without damaging the brick wall pattern on this photo?
Can you please tell me how to merge (HDR) three or more photos (same shot different exposures) -2, +2 and normal
Removal starts at 4:29
this is cool and all but i made a neon sine and have no clue how to take the black back ground away :/
Thank's for the vid. It's easy to remove the object when you have an uniform background ( such as brick wall). Any suggestion on how to do the same with complex background such as people behind the object, unique monuments, furniture, part of the building etc. Would appreciate the suggestion and tutorial on that.
LMBO THE DUDE TALKING
hey man I need you help I have a gimp 2.8 I just want to find out that gimp can make a poster if yes how can I make poster on gimp please help
Awesome.
You just saved my life, man. Thank you I don't need to use Photoshop anymore.
HOW DO I ACTUALLY DELETE I CANT FIND THE KEY AND I PLACED AN IMAGE I DONT WANT
First let me say thank you for the videos.
I appreciate that you are not getting paid for making these tutorials, however it would be nice if you could be a little more technical in explaining why you are doing certain things.
Instead of "you play around with these settings until you get what you want" it would really help a lot if you could explain for instance (and I am making this up because I do not know) – "I see that the colour balance in the shadows, on the left of the picture, looks a little too red so I am going to move it towards the cyan and add some more blue".
That way we could understand what we need to do and are trying to achieve, rather than just a trial and error approach.
Thanks again for the video.
thanks for your videos. way you don't use single windows mode
This does not work for Relections on Objects which is much more difficult!
Not better use Heal Selection plugin?
Can you make a tutorial for how to make a overlay for anything, for recording or for streaming. Basically how to put "banners" on screen or something likw that 😀
