Photoshop Tips

Rubber Stamp Tool
This tip will show how to clean up Photos fast. You can remove moles, pimples, and scratches quickly with the Rubber Stamp Tool.

Firstly load an image that needs to be touched up. You may download and use the image I did for this tutorial.

Girl with Hat. 69kb
Educational use only

Scan the image you have for any flaws, dings, scratches etc. If this is a Portrait of someone, then look for distracting skin moles, dimples, pimples etc.

Select the Rubber Stamp Tool from the menu. Make sure Caps Lock is off. Select a brush size from the bushes pallet (Windows>Show Brushes). Choose a Soft brush that is only a little bigger then the actually area that needs fixing.

   Hold down the Alt key (Mac: Option) and click right next to an area that has almost the same tone and color as the spot you need to touch up. By Pressing the Alt key and clicking, you have copied a part of the image. Now move the brush over the effected area and click. The spot is now covered as demonstrated in the animation.

Continue though the image with the Stamp tool and touch up areas that are needed. Try using different size brushes on larger and smaller effected areas.
