Lesson 4
Alteration tools
- Blur Tool -tool is useful for removing small facial blemishes and smoothing out wrinkles. It's easy to get a bit carried away with the blur tool when working on a face. Things will be looking great as you start, but if you overdo it, your image will begin to have an obvious retouched appearance if you're not careful. One way to avoid overdoing it is by using the lighten and darken blend modes with the blur tool.
- Smudge Tool -is grouped with the retouching tools, but it's actually used more often in painting. For retouching purposes is can be use to quickly rub out a minor blemish, touch up the shine on someone's lip stick, and so on. It can also be useful for blending out the jaggies that can sometimes occur when sizing up an image..
- Dodge Tool and Burn Tool -The dodge and burn tools work best on grayscale images. On color image the dodge tool will wash out color and details, the burn tool will just turn the area black or sunburned-looking. In a grayscale image, these tools are used to lighten shadows or overexposed areas and to darken underexposed areas. They have a unique option for "range" with choices of highlights, midtones, and shadows..
- Sponge Tool -allows you to adjust the color saturation where you paint.
