Photoshop Elements Continued...The Healing Brush...WOW!!

Okay, so there is no surprises as to what I've been doing since last night. Well, other than having to get up out of my warm bed this morning and head to work, then drive home in the fresh fallen snow, I'm back at playing with my new Photoshop Elements software. I promise I won't post about this cool technology every night, but I just had to share my newest finding. 

Unless the 2.0 version called this something else, I don't ever remember repairing a photo as easy as I did today with a cool tool called The Healing Brush!  I'm pretty sure there was a tool that I've used to "try" to touch up a photo, but never this easy!!

Below is an old photo of me and my brother, that I've hated for the longest time because of the apparent tear in the photo. It's very obvious that it's worn and had been folded, and the white from the photo paper was showing through.
Well, with the click of a bandage, literally, and selection of a brush, all I had to do was slide that baby down the crak and WHALA!!!.......

It's not perfect, but now it just looks like his t-shirt underneath is all bunched up..you know boys are always slobs!...hee hee hee.  Did you notice the edge of my dress?  The healer even copied the tweed..how cool is that??....then with the click of my auto enhance....

 
we're the bright and perfect pair!

And, by the way, I found a cool book at Amazon called Photoshop Elements 9: The Missing Manual, by Barbara Brundage.  I downloaded it into my Kindle software and it's walking me through this program like a charm.

Oh, Dee - I took an 8 hour course in Photoshop and STILL have no clue what I'm doing - there are a kazillion choices with that program. Luckily, I can take the course over for free, so I'm going to play with it awhile and then make my list of questions to ask for next time.

But it does do some astounding things, as you found out! Well worth mastering :-)

The book is great too Maria. I tell ya, I thought 2.0 was cool to have. I got it years several years ago, when I was doing the schools yearbook, but having upgraded I didn't know what I was missing!

Hey Dee! I just wanted to thank you for your sweet comments on my blog. I always appreciate your visits. You did an excellent job with your picture. I would have never guessed it was once damaged!

Hi Brandi, you're welcome. I've taken a break from jewelry making and recording my photo journals on another blog, but I continue to frequent my favorits :)
