Step Two:
When you release the mouse button,
a second circle (this one is green and
white) appears to show you the area
where Camera Raw chose to sample
your repair texture from (it's usually
very close by), and your spot or blemish
is gone (as seen here).
TIP: When to Fix Blemishes in
Camera Raw
So, what determines if you can fix a
blemish here in Camera Raw? Basically,
it's how close the blemish, spot, or
other object you need to remove is to
the edge of anything. This tool doesn't
like edges (the edge of a door, a wall,
a person's face, etc.), so as long as
the blemish (spot, etc.) is all by itself,
you're usually okay.
Step Three:
To remove a dif ferent spot (like the one
near the top of the building here), you
use the same method: move over that
spot, click, hold, and drag out a circle
that's slightly larger than the spot, then
release the mouse button. In this case,
Camera Raw did sample a nearby area,
but unfortunately it also sampled a bit
of the building, and it copied it to the sky
area where we were retouching, making
the retouch look very obvious with that
piece of building hanging out there.
