Photo Repair options
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.
Reducing red-eye
You can use the Red Eye Reduction tool in Edit Mode to correct red-eye in digital photographs.
You can either click or drag across the red area to fix the color.
It is possible to change the fill color if you need to restore the iris of the eye, or an area of skin
around the eye, rather than the pupil.
It is also possible to vary the intensity of the fill each time you click or drag, which gives you
precise control and allows incremental changes. Sometimes it works best to have a low
intensity and use repeated fine adjustments to get the best results.
To correct red-eye:
1. Open the image in Edit Mode.
2. On the Edit Panel toolbar, click Red Eye Reduction.
3. Use the Zoom tools in the top right corner to enlarge and center the eye you want to
correct.
4. Click within the red portion of the eye or drag across the eye.
5. You might have to click more than once in the red area, or drag over it repeatedly to
remove all the red. Be careful to leave some red behind or it will like unnatural.
6. If the red color has bled over an eyelid, or the iris of the eye, click Fill color and select
the right color to cover that area.
7. You can also select Custom and enter the color values to get precisely the color you
need.
8. If you are using a custom color, zoom in closer, and drag over the area repeatedly in
small increments.
9. To set the intensity of the fill color each time you click or drag, move the Reduction
intensity slider to the right (more color) or left (less color).
10. Click Done to apply your changes and close the Red Eye Reduction tool.
