Qimage Ultimate - The Vanish Tool

Our new Vanish tool allows you to remove clutter and distractions from photos by just dragging your mouse.  Simply start in the center of small objects and drag away: the object is removed and filled with surrounding information.  For larger objects, you can use multiple vanishes and even masks that allow you to "paint" the object to be removed.  In most cases, vanish is simpler than cloning and quality can actually exceed that of cloning since little or no blending is required after-the-fact.
