Photoshop Foundations: Cleanup Tools
Did you know that 4 out of every 5 images that I see during the critique sessions require some form of image “cleanup”? Either there are distractions that are keeping the viewer from enjoying the piece or there are tiny dust spots that will annoy the trained eye. Either way, these distractions exist in our photos and it really is our job as the post-production experts to clean them up.
I do not want you to confuse image cleanup with image manipulation! We are not going to be doing anything here that would fool the viewer. These cleanup tips and tricks are designed to make the image more visually appealing to the viewer while maintaining the integrity of the scene.
My goal is to get you as comfortable as possible with all the tools so you can enjoy the therapeutic nature of the Clone Stamp tool as much as I do!
