You can either click once on a blemish, or click and drag to smooth away imperfections in an area. Easily remove spots or imperfections using the Spot Healing Brush tool. 1 In the Edit workspace, select the Spot Healing Brush tool . 2 Choose a brush size. A brush that is slightly larger than the area you want to fix works best so that you can cover the entire area with one click. 3 Choose one of the following Type options in the options bar. Proximity Match Uses the pixels around the edge of the selection to find an image area to use as a patch for the selected area. If this option doesn't provide a satisfactory fix, choose Edit > Undo, and try the Create Texture option. Create Texture Uses all the pixels in the selection to create a texture with which to fix the area. If the texture doesn't work, try dragging through the area a second time. Note: Click Sample All Layers to apply your change to all layers of the image. 4 Click the area you want to fix in the image, or click and drag over a larger area.
