Photoshopping It Up!

In photoshop, we learned about the healing tool, the patch tool and the history brush. These have saved my life a few times, but it's no big deal.
The healing tool is one of the easiest and most effective things EVER! (right up there with the magic wand tool) It blends together surrounding pixels to get rid of any unnecessary marks such as scratches or lines from multiple pictures with similar but slightly different backgrounds. Also, the patch tool mixes the images of one selection and where you drag the selection to. This is great for removing wrinkles on a human face, but be careful to not make the person look like a plastic Barbie doll. Next is the history brush. THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE! Have you ever been working on something and then you want to go bak and change it to what you had before, but it won't let you? BAM! History brush. You take this and select whatever previous snapshot you want as shown below.
You take the brush and revert whatever area you draw on to the previous image you had. It's wonderful and is worth its weight in gold. Just saying.
