8 Using Painting and Retouching Tools Using the Smudge Tool The Smudge Tool simulates the effect of a finger smearing wet paint. It picks up color pixels from the beginning of the stroke and moves them in the direction dragged. To use the Smudge Tool: 1. Click the Smudge Tool in the Tools Palette. 2. Open the Options Palette. 3. Choose the desired brush. 4. Click in the image where you want to begin, and drag to smudge the pixels. Using the Clone Tool The Clone Tool paints an area of an image directly onto another image or paints a part of an image over another area within the same image. To clone an area: 1. Click the Clone Tool from the Tools Palette. 2. Open the Options Palette, then choose the desired brush size. 3. To set the clone source, hold down the Shift key while clicking within the image (the point the Clone Tool uses as a starting reference point when painting). 4. Click and drag elsewhere in the image or in another image to paint (clone). Using the Red-eye Removal Tool The Red-eye Removal Tool removes the "red-eye" (red glare) caused by light reflecting off the interior surface of the human eye-a flaw common in flash photography. To use the Red-eye Removal Tool: 1. Select the "red-eye" in the image. 2. Click the Red-eye Removal Tool in the Tools Palette. 3. Open the Options Palette. 4. Choose the desired brush. 5. Click in the red spot (red-eye) to remove, or desaturate it. Note: 1) To protect the adjacent areas of the image from being affected, select the red-eye area before applying the Red-eye Removal Tool. 2) Different brushes may need to be tested before finding the correct brush.
