I stink at editing!

How do I fix the extra blob of hair behind the womans head? I had to paste a new head on but cant get the hair to go away without the backround looking bad. Help!

Have you tried the clone tool?

What photo editing program are you using?

P.S. I edited it in Photoshop to show you but I can't figure out how to download it back to the forum.

Sorry, the forum says I can't post images or links yet.

is what I used to make this: I flipped the head, adjusted color and contrast,
did some cloning on the couch and background, and even used the smudge tool to give her a tiny smile. It's all about layers and selections, there are a ton of tutorials on youtube, or if you have the time, I would take a class. You can do this sort of thing in Elements, as well. Good Luck! Happy to answer any questions.

So sorry to be wasting time - I'm used to downloading pictures directly from my computer. My new Photobucket account had a glitch in it but seems to be working now.

GIMP seems to have a lot of problems. You might be better off with Photoshop or Elements. You could also try Print Artist or Print Shop.

Here's another site for GIMP photo retouching tips.
