Thanks Bodo,
but I did say novice, this looks a bit involved for the basic messing with pics that i'll ever do.
wish there was something in the
'Ladybird' look & do range, that I could read in the bath

Tip number 1

open a picture - choose the 'clone' brush (it's icon is two little brushes) - right click anywhere on the picture - left click and scribble elsewhere on the picture. You'll get the drift - make people appear/dissapear etc. Change brush size to make life quicker.

Attempting tip #1 now........

[rich 36]

My goodness, what have i done.
how do you then say
For example, stick an animals head on someones shoulders (for example)

[GetCarter]

open two pictures - one with an animal - one with a human... right click on the animals head in pic 1... left click and scribble on the humans head in pic 2.

Thats how they make Tracy Emin look so good

[rich 36]

righty ho

[GetCarter]

Just to add: there are many other ways of doing this... but cloning is a great way of touching up pics... getting rid of telegraph poles coming out of peoples heads can be made to dissapear by cloning the sky next to it etc.

right click bring up the following
cut
copy
paste
rulers
grid
guides

change grid
image info
which should i go for

[GetCarter]

make sure you've chosen the clone brush first!

[GetCarter]

so open two pictures - one with an animal - one with a human... CHOOSE CLONE BRUSH - right click on the animals head in pic 1... left click and scribble on the humans head in pic 2.

I'm charging by the post you know

[rich 36]

Right, that does something very odd to the hippo currently on there, is it just cats it wont' do ?

[GetCarter]

Hold on - I'll try here

[GetCarter]

hmmmm...works here make sure you are holding the left mouse button down when you are scribbling!


And: tip 2

(different way of doing it)

open hippo.. choose the freehand lassoo tool (looks like... um... a lassoo) - hold down left mouse and draw round head - copy (ctrl C) then open the pic with the human... and paste (ctrl V) move the head till it's in the right place.

Then clone to touch it up.
