Retouch blemishes with Photoshop - how it works

In this practical tip, we will show you two methods for retouching blemishes with Photoshop.

1. The quick retouching with the area repair brush

With the help of the area repair brush you can quickly and easily touch up blemishes.

1. To do this, select the area repair brush.
2. Adjust the brush size in the top bar just a little larger than the point to be retouched.
3. Then click on the blemish. Photoshop automatically retouches the selected area.

2. Affect retouching more: touch-up tool

Using the touch-up tool gives you more control over retouching.

1. Select the Patch tool from the toolbar.
2. You can then use the tool to circle the area to be retouched while holding the mouse.
3. After you have marked the location, click on this location, hold the mouse button down and drag the pointer to the marked location next to it. Photoshop retouches the blemish by comparing and retouching it with the edge.
