Hi everyone!

New to this forum and also in using Gimp. I'd appreciate some advice, please.

I'm a furniture maker in Japan, and usually take photos of my work on the road next to my shop. I like the texture of the blacktop. Using Gimp, I'm working up the learning curve, and don't know how to remove the white lines and dirt at the upper corners, and extend the pavement to cover it.
I'm hopeful that with Gimp, it can be accomplished.

Thanks very much for the help.

Regards,
Dennis

I'd have a go with the Clone tool: http://docs.gimp.org...ool-clone.html.

Take some selections from the 'blacktop' and clone them in to the top left and top right corners.

Yep... clone as much as possible, then use the Heal tool to clean it up.
