Use the Healing Brush tool for fixing large areas, such as a person's entire cheek. For example, to remove the red from
ruddy cheeks, hold down the Option key and click in the non-red area of the person's face to sample color from that
area. Then drag the Healing Brush over the red cheeks to paint the sampled color onto the red cheeks.
Use the Spot Healing Brush for small repairs, such as blemishes or small spots. You don't have to sample colors when
using this tool—because it fixes a small area, it samples the colors around the tool pointer. For example, in the photo
of the kids on the carousel, use this tool to remove the big white dot on the boy's red shirt. First zoom into the area
by clicking the dot with Zoom In tool . Then select the Spot Healing brush in the toolbox and select 5 px from
the Size menu in the options bar. Click the white button and—presto!— it's gone.
6. Add artistic effects.
Using the Zoom Out tool , set your image back to a normal viewing size. Now you'll add some artistic flair by
applying filters.
In the Styles And Effects palette, choose Filters from the first menu and choose All from the second menu (these are
the defaults, so they should already be selected). Scroll through the list of filters, and double-click Film Grain to open
the options dialog box for that filter. Experiment with the options by setting Grain Size lower and higher. Once you've
opened an options dialog box for one filter, you can choose other filters from within that dialog box and view their
results. To apply the filter, click OK. Experiment with some different filters until you're satisfied with the result.
