    Hi, I want to know how can I remove needle from the gauge texture (can be using Photoshop, but preferably including a method that uses GIMP or another good free image editor, since not all have money to buy Photoshop)

    The case is that I found a gauge, but the needle is over the "0".

    In gimp check out the clone tool. Depending how detailed your texture is the more time it takes. If the needle covers part of the numbers then remove/airbrush the needle first and then maybe try to use the airbrush and manually fix the letters by manually painting them back. Or copy suitable parts from the other letters. Or try to find the correct font online and recreate the gauges from scratch.
