WELCOME to my blog

This space is meant to be a creative outlet for me to share photos and stories and attempt to capture the everyday things in life that sometimes don't get noticed. It's also a very good reason to just take photos!!! Enjoy!

{116/365} Out, out damn spot!

Have you ever taken a really great photo only to load it on your computer to find that it has tons of spots!!?   Well with Photoshop all is not lost.  I've found a technique to remove those unwanted spots (okay.. now this is beginning to sound like a laundry commercial).

Start by opening your spotty photo.  Then zoom in so that you can see just how many spots there are.  Open the Spot Healing Brush, by pressing J,  and position the brush on your spot and click away.   Keep clicking until eventually all spots are gone.   Here is an example of the photo I "de-spotted".
In the words of Shakespeare, "Out, out damn spot!"
