Retouching Photos
Photos sometimes end up with blemishes, often from a problem with the camera’s lens, such as it being dirty or scratched. You can use the Retouching tool to hide the resulting blemishes in a photo.

Zoom and navigate to focus on the blemish.
Click the Retouch button. The Retouch tool appears.
Drag the size slider until the pointer, which is now a partial circle, is about the size of the blemish.
Move the pointer over the blemish.
Drag the pointer over the blemish. As you drag, a brown swath shows you the part of the image that you are dragging over.
When you’ve covered the blemish, release the mouse button.
Move the pointer out of the way and evaluate the results.
If the blemish is gone, you’re done; if not, repeat the process until it is.
