Retouching
Working with Pictures 177
PhotoLab's main toolbar provides some useful retouching tools. These are
commonly used to correct photos before applying color correction and effects.
• Red-eye tool, to remove red eye from a human subject.
• Spot-repair tool, to remove blemishes from human skin and
material surfaces.
For instructions on using the retouching tools, see online Help.
Selective masking
You may sometimes want to apply a filter to selected regions of a photo, rather
than to the entire photo. In PhotoLab, you can do this by using a “mask” to
define these region(s).
You can apply a mask:
• To the areas to which you want to apply the filter.
- or -
• To the areas you want to protect from the filter.
In the example below, a mask has been used to protect the subject of
the photo from a Stained Glass filter effect.
