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.

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.
