0. Intro
Introduction

We'll use the Clone Stamp Tool to "clone" the background of an image onto a different spot. We'll clean up the brownish discoloration on the "little boy" picture.

2. Healing Brush
Learn how the Healing Brush can blend two areas together. We'll use it to fix the discoloration on the "little boy's" face.

Use the Patch Tool to fix scratches on pictures, such as the Niagara Falls photo. We'll also use it to completely remove unwanted images from our pictures, like the boy in the background at the Falls.

4. Pattern Stamp Tool 1
We'll learn how to create our own patterns, and to use those patterns to "stamp" or draw out areas with a particular look and feel. We'll use it to correct the "little boy's" sweater.

5. Pattern Stamp Tool 2
We'll continue working with the Pattern Stamp Tool. We'll make a another pattern and use it to remove the glare from the wood panelling on the "Couple" photo.

6. Remove Red Eye
We'll learn how to remove red eye from the "Wedding" picture. We'll also discuss removing "Green" eye from cats, and we'll even remove a "black" eye from a little boy.
