Fix photos with touch up buttons
The touch up buttons are available in Quick mode, in the Modify panel. These buttons enable you to apply corrections
and adjustments to selected parts of an image. The red eye removal tool, spot healing tool, and healing brush tool
modify the same layer. The whiten teeth tool creates and works on a new adjustment layer. Also, the text tools create a
new layer for edits. As a result, some tools do not permanently edit information on the image layer. You can always
change adjustment settings without degrading the original image. The Whiten Teeth, Touch Up buttons apply
adjustments found in the Smart Brush tool. See
