Doing a Smooth Zoom In
Another way to zoom in on your image is to click-and-hold the Zoom tool (the magnifying
glass icon) on the spot where you want to zoom, and it smoothly zooms in right on that
spot. The only downside is that it does it so smoothly, it's actually slow. It does look cool,
but again, it's slow. That's why clicking with the tool and dragging to the right works so
much better (although it's not nearly as cool to show to your friends as the “slow zoom”).
Removing Red Eye
If you have a photo that has someone with the dreaded red-eye problem, it's a 15-second
fix. Use the Zoom tool
(Z)
to zoom in tight on the eye, then get the Red Eye tool from
the Toolbox (it's under the Spot Healing Brush, or press
Shift-J
until you have it). Click it
once on the red area of the eye, and in just a second or two, the red is gone. If your first
try doesn't select all the red, increase the Pupil Size up in the Options Bar. If the retouch
doesn't look dark enough (the pupil looks gray, rather than black), just increase the Darken
Amount up in the Options Bar.
