Fix photos with Touch Up buttons in the Quick Fix Tools panel<br />
The Touch Up buttons in Quick Fix tools panel enable you to apply corrections and adjustments to selected parts of<br />
an image. Except for Red Eye Removal, all Touch Up button adjustments are applied to an adjustment layer. As a<br />
result, they do not discard, or permanently edit any information on the image layer. You can always change adjustment<br />
settings without degrading the original image. The Whiten Teeth, Make Dull Skies Blue, and Black and White-High<br />
Contrast Touch Up buttons apply adjustments found in the Smart Brush tool. See “Adjust color and tonality using the<br />
Smart Brush tools” on page 117 and “About adjustment and fill layers” on page 71.<br />
1 In the Quick Fix Tools panel, do any of the following:<br />
• Click the Red Eye Removal button to remove red eye from a photo. This tool removes red eye in flash photos<br />
of people, and green or white eye in pets. Drag the tool in the image around an eye you want to fix, or click the Auto<br />
button in the options bar. See “Precisely remove red eye” on page 147.<br />
• Click the Whiten Teeth button to apply a Pearly Whites adjustment. Drag in the image area with the teeth that<br />
you want to brighten.<br />
• Click the Make Dull Skies Blue button to apply a Blue Skies adjustment. Drag in the image where you want to<br />
add blueness to the sky.<br />
For a video about making dull skies blue, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid909_pse_en.<br />
• Click the Black And White-High Contrast button to apply a High Contrast Red Filter adjustment. Drag in the<br />
image area that you want to convert to a high-contrast monochrome image. This adjustment simulates the image<br />
effects that photographers produce by placing a red filter over the camera lens and using monochrome film.<br />
2 (Optional) If you carried out Pearly Whites, Blue Skies, or a High Contrast Red Filter adjustment, you can do any<br />
of the following:<br />
• Add the adjustment to more parts of the photo, by clicking the Add To Selection button , and dragging in the<br />
image.<br />
• Remove the adjustment from parts of the photo, by clicking the Subtract From Selection button , and dragging<br />
in the image.<br />
