sharp or smooth.   

3. 

Drag the second slider to increase or decrease the amount of blur.

Healing Brush

 

 

The Healing Brush is good for fixing dust, scratches and removing skin blemishes. 

 

How to use the Healing Brush to fix a skin blemish:   

1. 

Establish a source point for the Healing Brush by holding the Shift key and clicking on 
an area of the skin that is close in color and texture to the area you want to heal.   

2. 

Use the zoom control to zoom in on the blemish.   

3. 

Adjust the size of the healing brush so the cursor (circle) is only slightly larger than the 
blemish.  

4. 

Paint over the blemish. The area will be healed.
