I use an old version of Paint Shop Pro (v3.12).  Been using it for YEARS.  It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the newer version and other programs have, but it's easy to use!  It has cloning, etc.  I generally use a combo of different stuff to take down the hump, if it's even an issue...

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
