I used mainly the Clone and Crop tools to do this, and showed members
other aspects of how to use Gimp ... importing photos, saving your
work, how to use Levels and Colour Balance, etc.
You will find all this information on a website I set up recently ...

See pages labelled as Gimp 1, 2 and 3.

One reader suggested using a different PDF reader …Foxit Reader, which
enabled him / her to edit PDF files as well.
I’ve had a look at one of the downloading sites for Foxit Reader,
CNET Downloads, which is a trusted website for downloading stuff.
so good ... you might wish to search on Google for an alternative.
