Let us learn about Retouching tools that can be used to repair an image, apply repeated patterns, or
replace colours in an image. We will also learn about two features of Photoshop – Layers and Filters.

RETOUCHING TOOLS
Retouching tools are used to enhance the quality or overall appearance of the images.
Spot Healing Brush Tool
The Spot Healing Brush tool removes blemishes and other imperfections in the image. It paints with
sampled pixels from a part of the image or a pattern and applies the sampled pixels to the pixels
being healed.
To use the Spot Healing Brush Tool:
1. Open a saved image.

2. In the Tools panel, select the Spot Healing Brush tool.
3. In the Options bar, do the following:

3.1 3.2 3.3

3.1 Click the down arrow next to Brush and specify a size for the brush.
3.2 Choose a Type option:
• Proximity Match : Uses pixels around the edge of the selection to find an area to use
as a patch.
• Create Texture : Uses pixels in the selection to create a texture.
• Content-Aware : Compares nearby image content to seamlessly fill the selection.
3.3 Select Sample All Layers to sample data from all visible layers. Deselect this option to
sample data only from the active layer.
4. Click the area you want to fix, or click and drag to remove imperfections in a larger area.
