I opted to download the standalone version of this software. This program was formerly known as AKVIS Stamp but has been revised with many more features added. This program has healing and enhancement brushes, cloning and stamping tools that you can use to improve your photos. The Chameleon Brush allows you to remove wrinkles, scars and scratches on a portrait. They claim it is like the Adobe Healing brush but with more options. We all have some old family photos that could be recovered using this program. One photo in the tutorial appeared to be un-recoverable but I was amazed at the end results.
There is a unique feature called the Artistic Cloning mode. This allows you to clone parts of a picture in a really smart way. Sample, adjust and re-source parts you're about to multiply through the image, and create impressive collages with little effort.
If you want to remove a person from a photo you can do so with this program. You can even add a person or replicate the original person and place in the background. It appears that what you can do with this program is endless. I have only tried a few features but expect to have many hours of fun using this program.
Currently they offering a 10 days free trial of this program at:

Why not give it a try if you don't want to go and spend a lot of money on one of the more expensive photo editing programs?
