If you want to sharpen or blur parts of an image, you can use the Sharpen, Blur, or Smudge tools These tools are grouped together on the toolbox The Sharpen tool (New !) increases contrast along edges

to increase sharpness; the more you use the tool, the greater the sharpening effect The Blur tool softens hard edges or reduces detail;

the more you use the tool, the greater the blur effect The Smudge tool creates a finger drag through wet paint effect

If you need to paint in a very specific location relative to the sampling point, you can use the x and y pixel offset

Setting Up Multiple

Clone Sources

One of Photoshop's most powerful features is its ability to retouch a photographic image When you want to manipulate an image, you can apply the Clone Stamp tool The Clone Stamp tool allows you to sample the image, and then apply that sample somewhere else on the same image, or on another open document When you use the Clone Stamp tool, by selecting Aligned in the Options bar, you can reuse the most current sampling point no matter how many times you start and stop painting When Aligned is deselected, you'll reuse the same sampled pixels each time you paint For example, you could use the Clone Stamp tool to repair damage to an image, remove a tree, or even remove or add someone from an image If you want to take multiple samples, the Clone Source panel allows you to set up to five different sample sources for the Clone Stamp or the Healing Brush tools Select Show Overlay and the Clipped option to see the clone source inside your brush cursor as you paint

You can also use the Dodge and Burn tools to lighten or darken specific areas of an image If you wanted to lighten the shadow areas of an image, you would use the Dodge tool, and conversely, if you wanted to darken the highlight areas of an image, you would select the Burn tool

While there are other ways to control the highlights and shadows of an image, such as a Levels adjustment, the Dodge and Burn tools are con-trolled by using a brush and painting in the image That kind of control gives you the option to choose exactly what you want to modify

Using the Dodge and

Burn Tools

Use the Dodge and Burn Tools

Select the Dodge or Burn tool on

the toolbox

Select a brush tip, and then select

brush options on the Options bar

Click the Range list arrow on the

Options bar, and then click

Midtones (middle range of grays),

Shadows (dark areas), or

Highlights (light areas).

Specify the Exposure value for the

stroke

To use the brush as an airbrush,

click the Airbrush button

Alternately, select the Airbrush

option in the Brushes panel

Select the Protect Tones check

box to minimize clipping and

reduce hue shifting within the

image

Drag over the part of the image

Dark areas restored using the Burn tool

Did You Know?

The Sponge tool does not lighten or

darken an image It saturates or

desat-urates color values as you drag over

parts of the image Since overexposed

or underexposed images have a

ten-dency to lose some tonal values and

appear flat, you can use the Sponge

tool (with Saturate) to return some of

the color values back to the image

Using the Healing

Brush and Patch Tools

Use the Healing Brush Tool

Select the Healing Brush tool.

Select a soft round brush on the

Options bar

Create a new layer above the layer

you want to modify

Click the Sample list arrow, and

then select the layer option you

want to use to obtain sample data:

Current Layer, Current & Below, or

All Layers

Hold the Alt (Win) or Option (Mac)

key, and then click on the area of

the image for a sample

This area should represent the

texture (not color) of the areas you

want to heal

Use small short strokes and

carefully drag over the areas you

want to change, then release your

mouse and move to the next area

The Healing brush works to match

the sample to the source

If the texture of the area you are

healing changes, repeat step 4,

and sample a different area

These tools have become my favorite tools for working with digital images and correcting problems The Healing Brush tool allows you to correct small imperfections, making them disappear into the surround-ing image This tool works from a sample of the original image, and then matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels into the source pixels If an image contains a lot of random noise, before working with the Healing Brush, try lowering the amount of noise with the Reduce Noise filter After you've applied the Reduce Noise fil-ter, you can use the Healing Brush to clean up the rest of the problem areas The Patch tool takes a sample and matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sample to the source, creating an almost seamless repair of the image You can also use the Patch tool to clone isolated areas of an image When you use healing operations in a separate layer, you gain control over the process; you can even use the opacity and blending mode settings to further control the healing process Always use the Healing Brush in a separate layer…always

The image contains scratches and spots

The Healing Brush makes short work of correcting damaged images.

Use the Patch Tool

Select the Patch tool.

Select the layer you want to

modify

Using the Patch tool, select the

damaged area of the image you

want to repair (the Patch tool

functions just like the Lasso

selection tool)

Click the Source option on the

Options bar

Move into the middle of the

selection marquee, and drag the

selection over the area you want

to repair and release As you drag,

you will see a copy of the area you

are moving over appear in the

original selection

Release your mouse when you see

the best match

The Patch tool corrects the

damaged area of the image

Repeat steps 2 through 6 to patch

any other damaged areas of the

image

Did You Know?

The Patch tool options on the Options

bar provide power On the Options bar,

use the Source option with the Patch

tool if you are selecting the damaged

area and dragging it over the good

area, and use the Destination option if

you would rather select a good area to

drag over the damaged area The

Transparent option preserves

transpar-ent areas during the patching process
