12. Click the area you want to retouch.
Photoshop Elements replaces the spot
with pixels from the surrounding area.
After you??™ve retouched the image, you
may be tempted to save it. However, if
you totally remove lines from a portrait
of a middle-aged person or a senior
citizen, the retouched image will look
unnatural. The image to the left shows
the portrait with the crow??™s feet, lines,
and blemishes removed.
13. Lower the opacity of the retouch layer
to display some of the underlying
layer. The image to the right shows
the retouched portrait with the retouch
layer lowered to 65 percent opacity.
14. Choose Layer | Flatten Image, and
then save the retouched photo in the
desired format.
Add Panache with Filters
Photoshop Elements ships with a treasure trove of filters??”more than
you??™ll probably ever use. The following sections will show you how to use
filters to add style to your images and create special effects. You can access
filters from the Filter menu or from the Artwork And Effects palette, shown
in Figure 8-2.
TIP
The Spot Healing Brush tool can be used to eliminate
dust spots on images that appear because dust got onto
your digital SLR camera sensor when changing lenses.
