I'm new; this is my first message.
I'm new to GIMP, but I'm learning everyday.
My question is:
Is it possible to cut out the foreground of an image and replace the cut out area with a continuation of the background in such a way that the new image looks flawless and continuous?
If the background is just one simple color, this would be easy.
Similarly, if the background is a simple repeating pattern, then this would also be easy.
But what if the background is not simple?
Here's a concrete example of what I mean:
Let's say I take a photo of my friend standing in front of a wooded area with trees and the sky in the background and the green grass at his feet and everything else you would expect to see at the woods.
I can easily cut out my friend's image from the photo.
But is it possible to fill in the empty space where my friend's image was with a continuation of the background in such a way that the resulting image looks as if my friend were never there to begin with?
