Installs and registers without a hitch. No crapware bundled in. Your email address can be anything you feel like inventing; it’s only the keycode that counts.

Opens smoothly and imports images OK. Window is re-sizable, which may not seem like a major miracle but you’d be surprised, the amount of software out there that’s infuriatingly fixed pane stuff.

After importing an image though, things sadly go downhill. There’s no right-click functionality, a serious obstruction to ease of use. To re-check this, we tried right-clicking and holding so as to move the image area around the screen canvas. All that happened was that the marker pen, already operational by default, blobbed itself in a thick scrawl. Use of the Undo tool achieved nothing. Instead, it was necessary to go to the marker panel, click on the Deselect checkbox, and paint out the original marks – about as clunky a retrieval process as it’s possible to imagine.

Image post-process management requires some flexibility in zoom in / zoom out controls, but this software is unfortunately restricted to fixed percentages (up from 100 thru 150, 200 and then 400%; down from 100 thru 75, 50, 25 to 13%.) The restriction is not helpful.

The bigger the image, the better where post processing is concerned, so in my case I used some recent output from a Panasonic TZ25 and images with pixel dimensions of 4000 x 3000 equating to 22.22 inches wide by 16.67 inches high at 180 pixels per inch resolution. (Note: too often is software of this kind blamed for substandard performance when in fact, the camera-phone or tablet image was substandard to begin with by not containing enough digital information for the post processing program to utilise.)

With a zoom of 75% and the Marker set to a radius of 50, three selections were made. The elapsed time counter was unable to monitor progress and stopped at 0.7s: impressive, not. By stopwatch, the process completed in a mind-numbingly long 3 minutes 31 seconds, but the progress bar’s erratic left to right motion stalled too often for comfort, giving the impression that it had actually ceased to respond.

Object removal varied from OK to hopeless. OK was the removal of a very fine, distant telephone line across a cityscape, something probably undetectable on a quick viewing of the original image. Less good was the removal of a slightly larger section of the image (a chair.) Visually disastrous was the removal ofthe biggest selection: a man’s head and face staring into the camera from the bottom edge of the shot. The replacement substituted with the greenery of an adjacent bush, but was drawn with so sharp a contoured edge as to look like Mr Hedge Man had arrived from some distant Tolkien forest.

The quality of pixel blending in software such as this is of considerable importance, and the ability to adjust that blend, even more so. I found no way of softening the blend. Hitting Undo was the only way to take the shears to Mr Hedge Man; the image thus reverted back to its former state with the selected areas shimmering in red. This time, Tools/Options/Use texture generation to remove objects was set. with a fill texture size of 20 (the number randomly chosen by us, there being no help from the developer as to just exactly what math is in play here.)

Object removal was now initiated. Bizarrely, the bottom screen progress counter suddenly displayed 129.8 seconds, as if it had just remembered how long the first process had taken to complete. This time, removal seemed to go on and on and on, with the blue left to right progress bar jerking sideways seemingly when it felt like it and staying put when it didn’t: no incremental progress at all. Our stop watch ticked on but the program’s timer continued to show 129.8 seconds, that is, the elapsed time of the first removal operation rather than the current one.

After 5 minutes 22 seconds, the progress bar was at the halfway complete stage – though of course, that obviously meant nothing: conversion activity with this software seems to be no more accurately calibrated than it is accurately timed, so a halfway point of 5 minutes 22 seconds is likely as random as anything else in the unimpressive engineering.

Conversion finally ended after an epic 8 minutes 40 seconds according to our stopwatch and a mere 4.2 seconds according to the program's own counter. Object removal and replacement was superior to the first test run, confirming that the program works best when set to Use Texture Generation. However. . .

That conversion speed was hopeless (and this on a PC with 4GB RAM and quad core processor which happily runs intensive professional video editing software.) We actually thought the giveaway period itself might be over by the time Photo Stamp Remover finished its work.

Anyway. . . We decided to give it one last chance with the relatively simplesingle task of removing a distinctively thick electric cable strung out across the width of the image and with nothing but the sky behind it. Yet again, the program's elapsed time counter failed to initiate, and instead remained resolutely stuck at 4.2 seconds. And, yet again, it felt like we'd all reach pensionable age before the software had gotten anywhere near to finishing a task so elementary that rival offerings from developers like Teorex (Inpaint) and Tintguide (Picture Cutout Guide) would've raced through it in seconds.

Finally. . . the electric cable was successfully removed and replaced by the background sky. No complaints -- except that for a straightforward substitution, this took waaaaaay too long: 211.19 seconds according to the software's own counter (the figure only appeared at the conclusion of the process) and an almost unbelievable 6 minutes 52 seconds by our own timer.

Verdict: Photo Stamp Remover 6.1 is a heck of a way from being worth anything like its $50 retail price (or, in this instance, the cost of re-installing it should you download it today but need to re-install in future.)

I'm personally not as overjoyed as many appear here appear to be with InPaint, seeing as how the Open Source freeware original for all this kind of"seam carving" and "exemplar painting"** does just about as good a job as Teorex or any other commercial developer has ever managed. Even so: SoftOrbits' own performance is leagues behind that of its commercial rivals.

Thanks then, GAOTD, and SoftOrbits, but no thanks. At $50, nobody's going to expect Photo Stamp Remover 6.1 to compete with Adobe CS (my own personal post-processing software) but it should at least manage to impress in one or other area of operation for that kind of money. It doesn't, so. . . Uninstalled.

Simple no-nonsense installation, unfortunately that was the end of the good news.
I attempted to remove an object that was behind my granddaughter in a photograph. The object joined with her shoulder and although I was extremely careful in only marking the object the result smeared her shoulder into the position where the object had been.
I have had much better success with other similar and cheaper programs, at $50 I want perfection and this didn't give it.
Removing from my computer, not worth the space.
