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!
