Removing flaws
Use the Photo Repair tool to remove flaws
such as:
-
Skin blemishes
-
Telephone wires and other unwanted
objects
-
Flash flares from snowflakes or windows
-
Lens scratches and water drops
There are two options available for the
Photo Repair tool: the Healing Brush and the Cloning Brush.
When the Healing Brush is selected
the Photo Repair tool copies pixels from one area of a photo
to another, but it analyzes the pixels in the source area before
copying them. It also analyzes the pixels in the target location,
and blends the pixels to match the surrounding area. This ensures
that the lighting and color of the replacement pixels integrate
more closely with the surrounding area. The Healing Brush works
particularly well with photos that involve complicated textures
like skin or fur.
When the Cloning Brush is selected the
Photo Repair tool copies pixels from one area of a photo to
another, creating an identical image area. The cloning brush is
more effective for photos that have strong, simple textures or
uniform colors, as it is more difficult to identify the copied
pixels in the finished photo.
You can save your options as a preset for future use.
To remove flaws from a photo:
-
In Edit Mode, on the Edit Panel, click
Photo Repair.
-
On the Photo Repair tab, select one of the
following:
-
Heal: copies the pixels from the source
area to the target area, and blends pixels into the surrounding
image area.
-
Clone: copies the pixels from the
source area to the target area.
-
Drag the Nib Width and Feathering sliders as described in the
table below.
-
Right-click the image to set a source
location. Pixels will be copied from this location and used in the
target location.
-
Click and drag over the area that you want
to cover. If you selected the healing brush, ACDSee analyzes and
replaces the pixels when you release the mouse button.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Click Done to apply your changes and return
to the Viewer or Edit Mode.
-
Click Cancel to exit the tool without
applying your changes.

Nib Width
|
Sets the width of the brush in pixels.
|
|
Feathering
|
Sets the amount to feather on the edge of the
brush to prevent sharp transitions between the original and healed
part of the photo.
Feathering is set as a percentage of the nib
width, not as a specific number of pixels. This means that you do
not have to adjust the feathering when you reset the Nib Width, as
it automatically adjusts to a percentage of the new nib width.
