Magical Bug Removal

Thank goodness for GIMP. I got some great shots from Killboy and US129, but my front end was covered in bugs. Looks like they are cleaning up pretty well, though. Here's my first magical cleanup using GIMP 2.0.

And here it is after a little digital car wash. I think it came out great, how about you guys? Can anyone see the touch-ups?

I was hoping for something magical to use on real bugs I need to get off the car.

Good photo edit though!

Thanks, all! I've never really done that much with photo editors, so I wasn't sure how well this would work. I'm glad to see that it looks good to everyone else, and not just to my eyes. I thought it might go from bug splatters to splotchy looking paint job, but it came out pretty good! Definitely happier with the clean look.

Heh, let me know if you find it, I think we could all use that.

Couldn't believe how many bugs I killed that day. I think it may have qualified as mass genocide.
