In some cases you may be able to get good results by simply cutting out the offending object from the image, and then using a plug-in called "Resynthesizer" to fill

As with ordinary word pro- cessing, cutting and copying a part of an image will place that selection in a local buffer. When you choose Paste Named allow you to use a buffer that can hold a great number of cut images. If you’re repetitively cutting/copying and pasting a lot of images, this is an extremely convenient feature. Select an image or
