SPOT HEALING BRUSH and CLONE TOOL ASSIGNMENT
The Spot Healing Brush allows you to fix the dust, scratches and schmoo marks on your photo. This tool paints matching texture, lighting, transparency, and shading to the pixels being healed. Unlike the clone stamp tool, it doesn’t require you to specify a sample spot — it automatically samples from around the retouched area. This tool is easier, but less precise in small or tricky areas of your image.
The Clone Tool also allows you to fix the dust, scratches and schmoo marks on your photos. It allows you to copy texture, lighting and tonal values from one area of your image onto another area of your image. With the clone tool, you pick the sample spot that you want to copy, then paste it into another area of your image.
Do these tools work on every “issue” on every photo, every time? Of course not. Does it work often enough to save you hours of work? Yes!
