In my review of Adobe ’s Photoshop Lightroom , I talked briefly about the Remove Spots putz ( I also talked about it in a bit more detail in my first look ) , which is a very powerful way for you to enforce minor tinge - ups to an picture . One of the things that I discovered during the review operation was the fact that , if your black eye had a scroll wheel ( or testicle , as in the case of Apple ’s Mighty Mouse ) , you could change the size of it of the spot on the fly sheet as you were working on an prototype .
This week , I have been scanning a clustering of Polaroid , and , no matter how hard I seek , I still get a fair amount of dust berth on my pictures . If you ’re using the Remove Spots putz ( in either Clone or Heal style ) , it can get a bit littered and hard to see if there are a lot of spots on the screen door . However , if you hold down the ‘ H ’ key as you spot your image , all of the spot are hidden . you may even adjust an existing spot with this method acting : the good room to do it is to put your black eye over the speckle you want to correct ( so you know where it is ) , and then exhort the ‘ H ’ key to hide the spots . It ’s a small tip , but it has avail me out a clump this week .
I made a pocket-sized QuickTime movie cartridge holder to demonstrate . In the first discussion section , I ’m using the Remove Spots pecker in Heal mode , sizing the brushing to correspond the dust pinch that I want to remove , and then moving the try smirch to align the cook place a second good . after , I ’m veil the spots and applying the tool , moving the sampled expanse where it form common sense .
Overall , I ’ve found the Remove Spots cock to be pretty good , but it wo n’t substitute the Healing Brush , the Clone prick or the Dust & Scratches filter in Photoshop . Lightroom ’s tool is really designed for intermittent espial , and it ’s one of the reasons that people who use Lightroom ( or Apple ’s Aperture ) as their elemental picture editor program and management program will still want to have a more full - featured software like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements kicking around in their tool case .
If you ’re looking for deeper honkytonk into Lightroom , O’Reilly’sInside Lightroomsite has a sound pick of tip and trick , including Mikkel Aaland ’s great backsheesh for produce aQuickTime - base sloping trough showwith Lightroom ( the Slideshow mental faculty is the weakest of the five modules , or , alternatively , the one “ with the most electric potential ” ) .
