[Blemish tool not working in Develop Persona]

I have the problem in Win 10. Blemish Removal in Photo 2 is completely non-responsive. I've been using the healing brush tool as a workaround.

[Cutting out a strip from image in Photo]

I am taking photos of earring pairs. In each case there are two earrings against a white (or transparent) background. However, I would like to make the earrings appear closer together. Ideally, I would like to just cut a strip out of the middle of the photo. This would have the effect of making the earrings move closer together. It takes me a fair amount of time to select one of the earrings, cut and paste, recrop, etc. Is there a quick and easy way to just cut that strip out of the image?

Many thanks,

Ken

[What steps to install program on second computer?]

I understand that I can install Photo/Publisher/Designer (Windows) on a second computer for my personal use. I purchased the programs, downloaded and installed on my laptop.

What is the correct or best way to install on my second (desktop) computer? Do I just copy the downloaded file from my laptop using a USB drive or email? Or should I download again from the Serif website? 

Thanks in advance for any help.
