TIP
When retouching a photo, it??™s a good idea to do your work
on a duplicate layer. If you??™re not pleased with the results,
you can delete the layer to which you??™ve applied the edits.
Your original image is intact on the background layer.
TIP
The Healing Brush tool can also be used to restore old
photos. For example, you can use the tool to repair a
fold or tear in a photo that you??™ve scanned into your
computer.
