Step Four:
If this happens, here's what to do: move
your cursor inside the green-and-white
circle, and drag that circle to a different
nearby area (here, I dragged it to a clean
area to the left of the spot I'm removing),
and when you release the mouse but-
ton, it resamples texture from that area.
Another thing you can try, if the area is
at all near an edge, is to go to the top
of the Spot Removal panel and choose
Clone rather than Heal from the Type
pop-up menu (although I use Heal about
99% of the time, because it generally
works much better).
Step Five:
When you're done retouching, just
change tools and your retouches are
applied (and the circles go away). Here's
the final retouch after removing all the
spots in the sky from my dirty sensor.
Use this tool the next time you have
a spot on your lens or on your sensor
(where the same spot is in the same
place in all the photos from your shoot)—
fix the spot on one photo, then open
multiple photos, and paste the repair
onto the other selected RAW photos
using Synchronize (see “Editing Multiple
Photos at Once,” earlier in this chapter,
and just turn on the Spot Removal check-
box in the Synchronize dialog).
