Creases In Photo's?

joe2cool

Hi just wondering if there was any free software that can get rid of the look of creases in old photo's?

Thx

I don't know of any reliable automatic fix for this problem but most image editing software includes a "clone brush" which is how I'd fix this.

One of the best free image edit programs is the Gimp. There is now a windows version as well as Linux - http://www.gimp.org/windows/

Here is how the clone brush is used in that..

Hi downloaded 'Gimp' but within the toolbox I can't use 'clone tool & healing tool' just a stp sign next to when I try using?

Typical the one I need as well

Have you created a "copy" of the image first you cannot alter any "original" image but work on a duplicate I work with "layers", so create a new layer and work on that. Saving the retouched and still have the original. Have you selected a "start" here point the copy from area?

Dont "open in layers" create a "new layer" Open picture, create new layer?
