Message text written by INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >My problem is that when i spot out the marks on the neg i mess up the grain structure in that area and the grain starts looking soft. Any one got any ideas on how to get around this? I'll also have to get rid of one or two small scratches and when i have tried this, i get a line along where the scratch was that has this soft grain. Looks more like Tmax in that area :)
Thanks, Paul Jones< except for easy situations, you will find that this type of repair best done with one of the cloning tools. Photoshop 7's Healing Brush is very good for areas where the tone changes relatively slowly. ordinary cloning is better where there may be abrupt changes or a pattern. in all cases, a pressure sensitive tablet makes a huge difference. if you are going to need to retouch often, you need to get one. a mouse just doesn't have enough control.
