sampling around the area being retouched
and then matching and blending the texture,
color and lighting of the sampled area to the
area being retouched. It is ideal to remove
small blemishes.

to apply in the options bar.

This makes blurred edges more sharp and
increases detail.

It is useful for distorting by dragging around
part of the image.

Used to make the image lighter with
every stroke. This is great for increasing
brightness of areas and making
highlights.

It is used to make the image darker with
every stroke, this is good for darkening
area of bodywork, and creating
shadows.
14.
The sponge tool can have two modes - either
saturate or desaturate. So with every stroke,
dependant on the mode, the image color
with either increase or decrease in intensity.
