Looking for a Photo-Retouching Program?

To correct facial and other skin imperfections, open the Retouching tab and choose Blemish removal from the Skin section. Adjust the tool size to match the size of the area you want to retouch. Just click on the blemish and it will be gone, as if by magic! Repeat the process for all the problem areas and click Apply. Make skin matte and radiant with the Skin smoothing and Shine removal tools. Use Red eye removal in the Eyes section and Teeth whitening in the Mouth section to resolve these common problems in digital portraits. You can even add make-up or change eye and hair color!

To edit an old scanned image (to get rid of cracks, creases, spots, etc.), go to the Smart Eraser tab, choose the Selection Brush tool, and select all the objects you want to remove. You can change the size of the brush by moving the Brush size slider. Make sure the unwanted elements are highlighted in red, and click Start Erasing. The program will automatically erase blemishes and retouch the original photograph. You can also use the Magic Wand Tool to quickly select adjacent objects of the same color. The Lasso Tool will help you select the unwanted objects by outlining them. Use Selection Eraser to deselect parts of the image if you wish, or click Reset Selection to start over with the highlighting.

You can also retouch imperfections manually with the Stamp Tool: clone one piece of an image onto the imperfection to cover it up seamlessly. First, hold down the Alt key and left-click on the area you want to copy, then release the Alt key and click the element you want to mask with the patch you’ve just selected for copying.
