Re: [Gimp-user] Newbie needs direction wrt replacing text with grass
OK, OK, I'm convinced. The first time I read "clone" I thought it was a way to work on a copy of the original so I didn't screw it up. Now I get the message. It only takes about 5 swings of the 2x4 to get my attention. Thanks to all. I've learned something . While this isn't perfect I don't think the casual observer will notice. Since this is my first "cloning" experiment, I'm satisfied with the results. If anyone wants to see the results, check out http://65.13.27.163/sue/100_0323.jpg Thanks for the help.

Can anyone help? Thanks, Jim. Try the clone tool. It's pretty simple to use and well explained in the help.

No, not MJ. I have a nice picture I'd like to print and frame but it has the stupid date/time string in yellow in the corner. I have subsequenly turned off the date stamp so that won't happen again. Fortunately, maybe, the stamp is in a field of nice green grass, so I was hoping somehow I could replace the solid color (yellow) of the stamp with something that looks like grass. Any suggestions on how I might go about that? I've used gimp for simple things, like brightness, contrast, and cropping but replacing colors and doing things with layers is beyond me at this time.
