First Aid Features in Photoshop-The Healing Brush and Patch
Abode Photoshop has the ability to turn even the most basic, layman photo into an art form. If you are a part of the Photoshop fan club and you have not upgraded to Photoshop 7.0 yet, do it now. Drop the mouse and head out to your nearest software store. You don’t want to miss out on the exciting additions that will take photo fixing to a new level. Once you are back home, get ready to be amazed. Don’t think that the new Photoshop software is just a rehash of previous ones, and you can go without it. As a Photoshop user, it is probably clear to you by this time that Adobe is constantly on the move, creating more intelligent software all the time. The Healing Brush and Patch tools in Photoshop 7.0, which, by themselves are enough reason to upgrade, are just a few of those new improvements you will enjoy.
We can’t be perfect, but our photos can be! Photoshop has taken the magic that the Clone tool can do to another level. With Photoshop 7.0 you will be able to finely tune your photos, knocking out those imperfections before you display your memories on the mantle. The Healing Brush and Patch tools are similar to the Clone tools. However, the Clone tool is one of those trial and error things. You have to practice and get less than great results before you master the Clone tool. The Healing Brush and Patch tools don’t require those trial and error runs. They will reduce the amount of time you spend repairing blemishes in photos leaving you with more time to take memorable photos. The Healing Brush and Patch tools are like extremely improved Clone tools. They are more specific and intelligent, allowing you to minimize the effort you invest in improving photos.
You may be thinking, “Hey, I have the Clone tool and it’s awesome. Why upgrade when I am perfectly happy with the Clone tool?” Well, the Clone tool is some kind of wonderful. Filling in the imperfections of your photos is a pretty nifty idea–and since you have cloned many times before, you are probably pretty good at it. But you still have to be careful. With the Healing Brush and Patch tools you don’t have to worry about that.
The Healing Brush will give you the power to get rid of scratches in old cherished photos, or smooth out the wrinkles around tired loved one’s eyes. The way it works is you paint over the blemish with pixels you get from a different area of the image. You can do something like this with the Clone tool. But the Healing Brush will accomplish this with a lot more grace. The Clone tool just leaves the pixels from the sample area of the image to the blemish you want gone.
The Healing Brush pays attention to the texture of the area of the image you are borrowing from and applies the tonal characteristics to the area that surrounds the blemish. When you borrow the pixels, they must be similar to the blemish area you are fixing. However, it does not need to be exactly the same, as it has to be when you are using the Clone tool. Also, sometimes when you use the Clone tool, the fact that you are fixing your photo is apparent. The Healing Brush does not leave the evidence that the Clone tool does because it blends the area after you are done painting. Take a step further towards complete photo perfection with the Healing Brush and Patch tools in Photoshop 7.0.
