I'm just playing with a trial version of this software. It claims to simply and easily remove unwanted objects from images for those with the minimum or no editing skills whatsoever.
I gave it a pretty fair test on the following image which is typical of unwanted background detail you might want to remove....
BEFORE...

I have to say it's quite impressive. All you do is paint over the area you want removing then hit a 'Play' button and the offending object is removed and replaced with background 'intelligently' blended into it's surroundings.
The edit has been done just using Inpaint and it was very quick - less than a couple of minutes. Obviously it can be improved by a little hand blending/cloning by conventional means, but a great deal of tedious editing time has been saved using this software.
For the newcomer who is new to editing this can be a very good way of eliminating unwanted details from images - it's not a replacement for advanced editing skills but while those skills are being acquired, this software is a way to tackle editing they otherwise couldn't
Even those more advanced in image editing will probably find this a real time saver even though they'll want to hand finish the results by more conventional means.
FINAL RESULT...
After 2 minutes in PaintShop Pro.... Overall editing time - 4minutes.

You can't save edited images with the trial version, but you can of course get around this using screen capture.
Come on then...give it a go, I'd love to know what people think of this.
