Inpaint is a small utility that will replace undesirable objects in an image with an approximation of what might have actually been there. You use the eraser to delete the unwanted object and it infills the selected area for you by gathering information from the existing background. This is one of the few tools I've seen on GOTD that has received such rave reviews.Remember:
1) find this link on the Giveaway of the Day web page to download the program file.
2) download and install before the offer expires in your time zone. If you wait, you'll get a trial or lesser free version only.3) open the 'readme' file and follow the installation instructions to register.
4) this is supposed to be portable, but I'm not sure how ... ???

- read the reviews
- overview from the website
- online version (free for now, but it's in 'beta' which means this will not likely last forever)
Learnable Moment
(questions you can work through with your students)
Why is it not ethical to erase watermarks or publishing information from other people's online images? If the only 'perfect' image for a project said "All Rights Reserved" or "NOT for reuse without permission", how might you proceed? Where can you find images that do not have copyright restrictions? How can you give credit to the owner of the image? Why would you want to take the time to do this?(questions you can work through with your students)
Thinkable Moment
What's in your project rubrics that addresses the issue of 'theft' of online resources such as images? If a student had used using copyright protected images in a project, would you:- ignore it because they're kids, who will know, or everything goes if it's for education?
- accept that project under the fair use provisions (do these apply in your country)?
- make them cite the source (what if they didn't bookmark and can't find it)?
- accept but deduct marks?
- make him/her replace the images?
