Inpaint - Free January 4th, 2010 ONLY

Right now, Give Away of the Day (GAOTD) seem to be doing reruns of their most successful time-limited offers from 2009. Inpaint [see developer's site here] is one of them.

Having used this smart little program for several months to remove unwanted items from my photos and other images, I feel I can recommend Inpaint quite highly. Of course, you can often achieve the same sort of effect by using a clone tool in Photoshop or several freeware image editors such as the Gimp, but Inpaint is straightforward to use, very rapid (as long as you have enough RAM for the job), and often surprisingly effective. Quite how good the end results are depends on the difficulty of the task you set the program‘s algorithm and how patient and adept you are in neatly covering the area you want to erase. But for simple jobs, Inpaint is a breeze.

Developer's description:
 
Inpaint reconstructs the selected image area from the pixel near the area boundary. Inpaint may be used to remove undesirable objects from still images.

Delete any unwanted object from your photo, such as extra power-line, people, text… The program will automatically inpaint the selected area to erase it.

If some unexpected object spoils an otherwise good photograph, Inpaint may be used to remove it. Simply select the object. No need for fiddly messing about with the clone tool!

It is alarmingly [sic] simple to use. Draw a selection around the object you wish to remove from the picture, and run smart remove selection. Inpaint will fill the selection area with intelligently generated texture drawn from the surrounding image data.

I apologize in advance to anyone who receives an email alert of this Hot Find late - ie after this 24-hour time-limited offer has expired. Unfortunately, such delays depend on the automated emailing system and are thus outside our control.

I realize that reading this page after the expiry time must be frustrating. However, I feel the quality of this software justifies the heads-up for those people who do get there in time.

Happy New Year!

Bob
