If you go to the Retouch Tool, notice at the bottom here it says Option Click to Choose a Source Area. Let's undo all these changes and look at another aspect of this. With a little more time and maybe using the tool at a smaller size with smaller sections you could do an even better job. You can see that that section of the photo looks a lot better than it did before if I toggle between them. But, it will make it look as lot better when you're done. So I can just keep doing that in small sections and it won't completely repair the photo. Zoomed in like this I can still see that there is a problem there. You see if I drag it over a small portion it does a pretty good job of getting rid of it. Let's Edit this and zoom in here to see this kind of crease in the photo. So, for instance, here's a photo that was scanned in and the original photo was damaged. Now in addition to retouching you can also use this to Repair photos. But you can turn it back On to get it all back. Turning it Off removes all of the retouching that you've done. If you ever want to compare the changes you've made with the Retouch Tool you can turn it On or Off with this little blue checkmark here. You can keep your pointer over the spot that you want to change and then resize the circle as needed. You can go down and up in size using those so you don't have to keep moving over here. Now there are keyboard shortcuts for doing this. You always want to adjust the size to fit what ever it is that you're changing. Remember anytime you mess up, like maybe doing that and it kind of blurs that area there, just use Command Z to undo that last change. So don't try to just over all of this but kind of click on certain areas, drag over others, and just keep going until you get things looking the way you want. It's best to do this in small bits at first. I can just click and drag along the imperfection, like that. When there is an imperfection like this I don't have to click in different spots. I can still use two-fingers on the trackpad to move around. Adjust the size to get to the proper size for the imperfection and you can click there to get rid of it. So I'm going to use my trackpad to zoom in or you can use View and then Zoom In and Zoom Out command, Plus Command, Minus to get to the small imperfections there. Now the best way to work with this is to zoom in as much as you can. You can see how it smoothed over the imperfection there. So all I need to do here is click and it will retouch that area. With this On now I've got that circle there and I can Retouch. So you can see with this Off I'm just in regular mode with a regular pointer. However, you can also click on this button here to the left of the size control to turn it On or Off. Once I've adjusted the size the Tool is ready to use. So let me make it about this size, like that. ![]() If I want to get rid of this blemish here I want something that's just a little bit bigger than it. So click and drag in the Slider here and you can see that circle change to show the size. To use it, first you would select a size. Click on the disclosure triangle here to the left to reveal the tool. Make sure you've selected Adjust here at the top. So to do that you want to edit the photo by clicking on the Edit button at the top right to go to the Editing Tools. Maybe you want this to be a more perfect image of a rose. If I zoom in here you can see some little marks on the rose itself. ![]() So as an example here let's look at this rose.
