How to cover an unwanted object on a JPEG file

Dear sirs:

Does OpenOffice have a way to select an area in a JPEG (photo) file like a portion of sky, and then paste that area over an unwanted object in the photo, in order to delete that object?  I suspect that this can be done using OpenOffice Draw.  Where can I find the instruction for doing this?

Thank you,
Marvin Sampson

In Principle you could do this - copy/paste the photo, crop the one in 
the foreground, move the part over the spot in the 1st photo. But I have 
to admit that this would be possible, but a ressource killer (the 
cropped file will stay in it's full size - OTOH it is a copy of the 1st, 
so should be in mem and file only once).

Better alternatives:
- Edit the photo before adding it to AOO using any image editor (e.g. 
Paint.NET for free)
- If you have it in AOO, copy/paste it to an image editor of yor choice, 
do the needed modifications, copy/paste it back.

HTH!
