    There's a feature on Photoshop CS3 called Clone Stamp, which can copy a portion of an image and reapply it repeatedly to cover an unwanted portion of the image. Is there any free software out there that can do this task? I don't need any of the other features of PS CS3 and I'm not willing to pay the $$ to get another working copy.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I believe that Gimp has it as well. It's open source.

    Paint.NET has it and it runs native on windows, GIMP as Bchen06 has already suggested is a lot more powerful and has it also.

    Lol, I use paint for everything; just recently I found out that you can't do wavy lines in photoshop, is that true?

    Oh, well I guess I just haven't played around with Photoshop enough, I still prefer paint for most tasks though.
