    Hi,

    I've got a single photo which I want to edit a random person from the background.

    Is this something I can do myself? I've not got Adobe. Are there any guides or help?

    Alternatively, what is the best way of getting this done?


    Thanks.

    I'd rather not as it is a family photo.

    I would guess it depends on what the background is when it comes to how obvious this sort of manipulation would look and how difficult it would be.

    Tried it. Problem is that the person to be removed is in a corner directly behind the person I want to keep, so the heal function is not working for me. :(

    Looking at options on PeoplePerHour at the minute.
