Remove Spots or Distracting Stuff?

image

If it’s just a spot or a speck or something small like that, get the Spot Healing Brush tool from the Toolbox (J; its icon looks like a Band-Aid with a half-circle on the left side), make the brush size just a little larger than the spot or thing you want to remove (use the Left and Right Bracket keys on your keyboard [to the right of the letter P] to resize your brush), then just click once and it’s gone (as shown above). You don’t need to paint a stroke usually—just click once. Of course, if it’s something longer (like a crack in a wall), you can paint a stroke. If you want to remove something that’s straight (like a power line), then click on one end of the power line, press-and-hold the Shift key, then click on the other end, and it will paint a stroke in a perfectly straight line between the two and remove the power line altogether. Note: There are two Healing brushes—the Spot Healing Brush and the Healing Brush. Switch to the Healing Brush (Shift-J) when you feel you need to choose the spot (sample area) Photoshop uses to fix the problem area. For example, if you’re retouching someone’s face, where the tool chooses to sample skin from matters because people’s skin goes in different directions on their faces, but the Spot Healing Brush doesn’t know that. So, sometimes the results look funky. Just switch to the regular Healing Brush (its icon has no circle on the left—it’s just a Band-Aid), then Option-click (PC: Alt-click) on a clean, nearby area of skin, so you know it’s sampling texture from a good place.
