Mike

A tool to remove television aerials, telegraph wires, blemishes outside the range of the blemish tool.

I try to take shots that don't have aerials and wires but it is not always possible, and on my last holiday I managed to get a 'large' piece of dirt on sensor, so all shots had to be corrected in Elements 7,  most inconvenient.   Export to elements as a tiff, correct and then back to Ultimate to finish off, a lot of time and disk space.

Marks in clear blue sky, although large, were easily removed with the blemish tool, but any near a more detailed image feature defeated the blemish tool.

I realize this would probably mean a more or less copy of the PS feature and you may not want to go down this road.

Regards

Jeff

Clone of a selected area would work for most problems, but don't know how hard that would be to program. Would need to blend at the edges, and the size of the clone tool would need to be adjustable. But it would be nice not to have to go to PhotoShop.

Hi Jeff,
I won't dare speak for Mike and I truely like the program to death, but I think what your asking is to turn QImage into a post processing program like Corels PSP or Adobe Photoshop and I think that would be a huge mistake for Mike.
 
IMHO.. I think some of the PP fuctionality is already bordering on 'too much'. Trying to mimic the others with too much PP features would kill it!  Mike has a niche program, and it does what it does best, augmenting, amplifying, and simplifying printing solutions  !.
I do all my PP in ACR and CS5, but all my printing in QImage.

I think your view is very valid, hence my comment that Mike may not want to go down 'this road'

I just thought that  Mike may be able to just extend the Blemish feature a bit.
