I have seen a demonstration once of another image
manipulation program that with the right paint tool you
could 'pickup' one area of a picture and while the cursor
is moving 'paint it' to another area.
I have some old pictures that have been cut up and would
like to restore the backgrounds to them. Will Picture It
do this and if it isn't to much effort HOW!

Hi,

As I understand your question, you're referring to the Clone
tool. It allows you to copy and paste any part of an image.
Example...if you have one flower, you can clone it and create
another exact flower in a different position on the same image.

In Picture It!, The procedure is simple...you place the cross
hair on the portion of the image you wish to clone (copy) and
left click. Then you move the brush to the position where you
wish to paste and left click again.

Now you need to reset your clone tool for the next sequence,
this is done by pressing the "e" key on your keyboard. So,
the moves are...copy / paste / reset...copy / paste / reset...
