Excellent software to remove unwanted objects from a photo....actually it’s probably the best one of this category and it’s very easy to use as well, when compared to GIMP, for instance.

The idea is brilliant, namely remove unwanted objects from a single image by algorithmically regenerating the background based on the surroundings.

The MultiView Inpaint is not combined with this GAOTD simply because it's a totally different software:

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system. It installs in my case in the 64 bit program folder.

A (Russian) company without name and address, focusing on photo manipulation and removing unwanted objects. Maxim Gapchenko is regularly participating here with good products.

This is version 6.0, we had had the previous versions 5.6 on January 9th of this year and 5.5 on October 3rd of last year.

Here are the old reviews:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/inpaint56/
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/inpaint-5-5/

I did not found a "what's new?" information.

Upon start a dark resizable (lightroom sytle) interface opens, you can change language and marker size. That’s it.

If you ever wanted to Magically remove tourists or other unwanted persons (from your photo) then this is the software for you.

The interface is more or less self explaining, you define the person, which you don't want to any longer with a red marker and suddenly the person disappears. There is no magic, it depends on the the size, the background and the structure of the picture - and on your skills how to define the cutout.

Works as it should. Easier to handle as the e.g. Photoshop clone stamp tool - but you can achieve better results with the latter, when you could define from which area are the clone information taken.

What a pity, that the MultiView Inpaint is not combined with this software. But I understand, that he wants to sell several programs.

Uninstalled via reboot. i am used the "old" clone stamp.

@ Karl: with InPaint also, you can define precisely where to select the pixels that will replace the ones you want to remove, even from a non-adjacent area.
Just check the green spot and use the rubber to deselect the automatically selected adjacent area, then check the marker (or lasso etc.) icon to select where you want.
Personally, I regret that InPaint doesn't give us back the support of transparency that it featured in its early versions (for more creative purposes than just dissolving mothers-in-law and ex partners).

@ ouialaraison #7

Thank you for your comment. I have made a short example to show where a clone stamp is IMHO the better solution.

The picture is the famous Mount Fuji with a beautiful tea garden. The problems (as always) are clear defined structures. Think of a wall with bricks, a building with windows, a fence.

I want to delete a wall - I select the wall with the red marker - The green area is shown from where the pixels come (Pic2). This does of course not work - so I selected exactly one row of tea bush from above (Pic3). The result is visible on Pic4. With more time, you achieve a better result... but with a good clone stamp, this is done faster and better.
