Photo Retouching

This tutorial will show you how to do simple photo retouching in Photoshop.

The two main tools you'll be using for this are the Spot Healing Brush, and the Healing Brush.

The Spot Healing Brush will cover any blemishes or marks you click on. It's best to just click once with it instead of trying to cover large areas.

The Healing Brush works a little differently. You first have to hold the Alt button to sample an area, then left-click, and then you can retouch an area.

You can also right-click on your canvas to adjust options for the brush.

Save the image as a jpeg, name it yourname_retouch, and upload it to your folder on the Google Drive.
