Well, if there's a sizeable portion of the bikini material in the photo, you should be able to use the clone tool. That can sometimes be tricky with patterns, or if you don't have a good target area. Type 'C' to get the clone tool, +left click to set the target area, then left-click on the destination. All that being said, it's hard to make a diagnosis with seeing the image (which is the problem, I guess).

Re: [Gimp-user] going digital
You will need several things at least. 1. A program to copy your images from the camera into PC, especially if the device is not seen as USB drive. Maybe gphoto will be of help. http://gphoto.org/ 2. I would recommend you shooting in RAW. In order to import your photos directly in GIMP or process RAW standalone you will need UFRaw ufraw.sf.net with graphical user interface or dcraw http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ as a command-line tool. 3. Also camera profiling tool will be be helpful if you do not find ready profiles for your camera model. http://lprof.sourceforge.net/ Andrew wrote: > I'm thinking of moving into the 21st century and getting a bottom-end > digital reflex, preferably Pentax for the sake of nostalgia.

I think in general you should check that your camera produces files that GIMP can open. If are considering something more than a point-and-shoot camera, for example a reflex, and you want the best quality and flexibility, sooner or later you will hear about RAW files. These are not standard files, every manufacturer produces its own format. You should check that a GIMP plugin like UFRaw can open RAW files created by your camera in order to convert to tiff or jpeg.

Can > anyone advise me from a technical point of view as to what I need in > order to be able to get pictures into GIMP for editing? In my opinion, the only thing _really_ worth paying attention to in relation to "the computer" / Gimp is making sure your camera is supported by dcraw [1], thus enabling you to read full-sized RAW pictures right off the device and do something useful to them without having to use the proprietary tool that usually comes with the camera. Everything else should be quite easy: * About storage, most of the DSLRs I know about run on CF cards, and you can get a decent USB card reader supporting CF and a bunch of other cards rather cheap nowadays. * Connecting directly to your machine (USB link between computer and camera), most cameras by now fortunately seem to be capable of being usb-storage, thus being handled more or less like an ordinary SCSI drive. There you go. ;) About Slackware, your mileage might vary as I don't know what drivers and/or features come packed with the distribution - running Ubuntu on various machines, and even my girlfriend (who does not really like computers that much, altogether) by now manages to easily transfer their digi-cam pictures to $HOME. Overally, however, choosing a DSLR you probably should focus on other technical aspects of the camera itself, but probably that's another story... ;) Cheers, Kristian [1] http://cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ -- Kristian Rink * http://zimmer428.net * http://flickr.com/photos/z428/ jab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * icq: 48874445 * fon: ++49 176 2447 2771 "One dreaming alone, it will be only a dream; many dreaming together is the beginning of a new reality."
