I read the awesome post by @Andrew on how to clone photos. I'd like to have a crack at it. I use Lightroom 4, Picasa, PicMonkey & Pixlr-o-matic for my edits.
Does anyone know if there is a way of merging photos in LR4?
@vorka I haven't messed around with GIMP too much but it is supposed to be very similar to PS and you should be able to use layers and layer masks in there....and it's free.
If you have a mac, Pixelmator is a CHEAP software that acts like photoshop where you can do merges etc. You could always do a 30 day free trial to play around too.
"there is a plug in for Lr called Perfect Layers, by OnOne Software, I have not tried it yet but it seems cool."
I've never used it but that's been recommended to me also. I don't think that it's free though.
On the other hand. wwww.pixlr.com is free and is capable of an awful lot.
It's not a patch on Photoshop but it will certainly allow you to experiment with cloning, layers etc.

There is also a very inexpensive plug-in called LR Enfuse (donation ware) that works pretty well.
