Hello all, I am new to Gimp and need some help. I would like to remove something from the foreground of the the attached photo but have no clue how to do it efficiently. I have the areas I would like to remove circled in red. Can someone please help me out with this or direct me to a video explaining the process?
Thank you

Is this the sort of thing you require?
The top circle was done mainly with heal selection and the lower circle mainly with the clone tool.
For the real picture it would then require a clean-up. The healing tool would probably be the most useful for that.

I used mostly Resynthesizer: Filters/enhance/heal selection

Settings vary but these worked well:

Context sampling: 10px
Sample from: above and below
Filling order: Inwards from center

Making the selection areas as small as possible
if there is similar texture material on the surroundings than the selection has, "random" filling order

On some spots I used clone tool, avoiding too long drags and clicking to copy colors, some smudging

It´s tedious, so I recommend turning hud elements off if You want clean game screens

G'MIC has various "Inpaint" methods for this also. You can find it under the Repair menu.
