Photoshop photo retouching

Could photo retouching get any easier?Would your pictures be perfect if you could just remove one or two blemishes? Photoshop comes with 4 wonderful tools to do anything from removing Aunt Sara’s wrinkles to eliminating acne from your nephews photograph.
In older versions of Photoshop, I had relied on my old favorite “Clone/Rubber stamp” tool. Of course this was in the good old days when we walked to school in waist high snow and it was up hill both ways. Now, we have newer and much better options! These new tools are easier to use and much more intelligent saving us time and grief!
Our new tools for photo retouching include the following:

• Spot healing brush: Fixes an error on a surface automatically.
• Healing brush tool: Allows you to sample from a flawless area in a photo and paint over a bad area.
• Patch tool: make a selection of an area needing to be fixed, and drag it to the area that looks correct.
• Red eye tool: Simply click on the red eye for a quick fix.

Just when you thought life couldn’t get any better, Photoshop gave us favorite new toys……tools.

What’s new in Photoshop CS3?
Want to easily see the latest updates to Photoshop? Here is a quick way to do just that.
Open Photoshop and go to the Window menu. In the fly out menu select “What’s New is CS3”.

The next time you pull down a menu item. All the new or changed features will display with a blue highlight.

In this example I can see that changes have been made in the Filter menu. There is now a feature called "Convert for Smart Filters" and something called "Vanishing Point" that's now included in Photoshop CS3.

To remove these highlights, just return to the Windows menu, click on Workspace and select “Default Workspace” from the fly out window. Resetting your default workspace will place all of your palette settings back to their original location when you first opened Photoshop.
