Because the Dust & Scratches filter didn't do what we wanted it to do, you'll have to remove the scratches by hand. Let's use theHealing Brush to cover them, starting with the background because it's a good place to practice with this tool. Select the HealingBrush and open the Brushes palette. Choose a soft-edged brush. Choose Source: Sampled and make sure Aligned isn'tchecked. Pick the dark tone adjacent to the scratch, and start stamping it out. Remember to set a spot to use as a source, bypressing Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) while you click the mouse on the spot you want to copy. For small spots located far fromobject edges, try using the Spot Healing Brush with a small, hard-edged brush selection. Figure 21.17 shows the partially treatedphoto. Remember to change your source selection as the areas the damage runs through change value.Figure 21.17. Obviously, I am working from the top down.7. The best way to remove the scratches across the faces is to use the Brush tool and repaint each face, rather than trying to stampthem. To make the task easier, enlarge the picture to at least 200%. Switch to the Zoom tool at the bottom of the toolbox and clickit in the image window to enlarge the picture.8. Select the Eyedropper tool and click the closest gray adjacent to the scratch. Choose a small brush and paint over the scratches,changing shades of gray with the Eyedropper as needed. Figure 21.18 shows before and after views of this step.
