Choose the tool for the job.

Photoshop has several tools for fixing flaws. The Spot Healing Brush is ideal for effortlessly removing blemishes on photos. Use the Clone Stamp tool for seamless duplication, and for blending imperfections with more precision, try the Healing Brush tool.

Adjust your brush.

To get the best results, make sure your brush is slightly larger than the spot you want to remove so that Adobe Photoshop can copy part of the image around the spot to fill it in. You can set the brush size and hardness in the Options bar. A harder brush will remove blemishes and spots without blurring the edges.

Adjust brush sizes for more precise corrections.
