Fuzziness slider or entering a value. This controls
the degree to which related colors are included in
the selection.

color of the selected areas.

Retouching an image
You can retouch images using filters, and the clone
stamp, red eye brush, smudge, focus, toning, and
sponge tools.
Using the clone stamp tool
The clone stamp tool takes a sample of an image,
which you can then apply over another image or
part of the same image. Each stroke of the tool
paints on more of the sample. Cross hairs mark the
original sampling point.
To use the clone stamp tool:
1 Select the clone stamp tool . (For infor-
mation about the pattern stamp tool , see
“Using the pattern stamp tool” on page 135.)
2 Choose a brush from the pop-up palette in the
options bar, and drag the Size pop-up slider to set
the brush size.
3 Specify a blending mode and opacity.
(See “Setting options for painting and editing
tools” on page 135.)
4 Select Aligned to copy the sampled area once,
regardless of how many times you stop and resume
painting. This option is useful when you want to
eliminate unwanted areas such as a telephone line
across the skyline or a rip in a scanned photo.
