Question: How do I take out a tree in a picture i have in iPhoto on my Mac!?
My family is working on our X-Mas cards, which involves choosing a family photo!. We had finally arrived on one when my mom noticed a tiny branch right behind her head in the photo!. I told her I would cut it out for her using iPhoto, but I am not sure how!. Any suggestions!? It is just a tiny branch sticking out behind her head!. I tried the "retouch" tool, normally used for blemishes, but it didn't work!. Please help quickly!Www@QuestionHome@Com

iPhoto is not a robust photo editing program at all!. I also use a Mac, so I know!. iPhoto is only a most basic "collection" program that can do only simple things and can be used for creating books and such!. It does not have the ability to do such things as what you want!.

It sounds to be a quite simple edit though using the clone, healing, and patch tools in Photoshop!.

What you need to do is post a QUALITY, HI RESOLUTION file of the photo on Photobucket or Flickr!. You will very likely get somene to edit it for you!. I am not busy at this moment, and if you had the pic posted, I probably would have done it for you, or someone else would have!.

I realize you were not asking for someone to do it for you, but this is about your only choice if iPhoto is your only "editing" program!.

You can download GIMP for free, but you are going to need plenty of time learning how to do what you want!.

You told her you could do something that you can't do!?

Shame on you!. Now you have to learn how to do something you don't know how to do, don't you!?!

You want help!?!.!.!. try finding out who implanted the branch in Mom's head and ask them to remove their mistake in composition!.

You really shouldn't make claims that you are more talented than you really are!. If you want me to remove it, it'll cost you $25!.!.!. ever since some punk kid sent me a virus attached to one of his photos, I don't do anything for free!.

Sorry 'bout that!.

You simply can't do that with iPhoto!.

Unless you already have Photoshop or some other reasonably capable image editing software, I'd recommend that you download a free copy of GIMP (or something similar), and learn to use the Clone tool ASAP!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
