This tool automatically samples nearby pixels to blend the scratch with the surrounding area, making it less noticeable or invisible.
Before printing or publishing, especially if the scratch could be obvious in large prints or digital displays.
A photographer or archival restorer might do this during final editing to ensure the image looks flawless.
Use the Spot Healing Brush with a small, soft edge and zoom in for control. Work on a duplicate layer to keep the original safe.
Avoid overdoing it—making too many small corrections can create a patchy look. Fine-tune the result by adjusting the layer opacity or using the Clone Stamp Tool if needed.
Using a large brush size or dragging too much can erase details or create a visible patch.
Always work on a new layer, zoom in closely, and adjust the brush size for precise control to avoid this.
Photo retouchers and archival image restorers frequently remove tiny scratches to restore the original quality of images.
AI can speed up detection and suggest corrections, but manual touch-up is often necessary for precision and smooth blending.
It's a different task focused on fixing surface flaws; softening skin tone smooths skin, cleaning packaging removes dirt or labels.
