How to retouch a photo in Adobe Photoshop

Isak selected the Healing Brush and brushed over the seams, zipper, and wrinkles in his photo. Each time you move to a new area, reset the source point for the brush using option-click (or alt-click).

The Content-Aware Move tool, nested under the Healing Brush, allowed Isak to easily move objects around. He made sure that Mode was set to Move in the Options bar, drew a selection around the white ball, and dragged the object to its new position.

Isak noticed small imperfections around the white figure and used the Spot Healing Brush to remove them.

With a few simple adjustments, you can turn an almost-perfect photo into a perfect one.
