Photo Manipulation Software HELP!

Im hoping somebody can help me!
Many years ago I used to have an absolutely brilliant image manipulation program, think it might have been called Micrografx or something like that.
Does anyone know what I mean and know if it is still available? I have seen something called micrografx on ebay but I dont know if it is the same thing!
It used to have a brilliant cloning tool. What I need it for is to clone the background on photographs so I can wipe people out and just leave one person in, if that makes sense. I havnt got a program that can do this at the moment, so any recommendations would be very gratefully received!
Thanks for your help!

I would recommend GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program)
It has most if not all of the same elements as photoshop but is freeware so and can be downloaded from here for nothing along with the GTK+ pack which you need to install first to run it
Really can't recommend it enough :money:

GIMP has a horrible user interface.
Other options are Paintshop Pro which can be found bundled with blank CDs/DVDs or Paint.NET which is freeware.0 -
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but - https://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/photoplus/key_features.asp0

Micografx Picture Publisher - think it was flogged to somebody, but was pretty good (I replaced it when I got a freebie Corel Suite with a PC).
ps - it was Corel..! http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/whathappenedto/p/picturepublish.htm0 -
Picasa2 form google it's free and pretty good to use."Imagination is more Important than knowledge"0

I down loaded a free 2 week trial of Xara Xtreme
I was that impressed with it I bought the cd program.
Try the free version (now 30 days)

agree Gimp is cool but takes a 'bit' of getting used to. but even the gf who is a photoshop girl can easily work it out.I would recommend GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program)
