Remove blemishes

Use the Healing Brush tool to correct imperfections, causing them to disappear into the surrounding image. The Healing Brush tool also matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels to the pixels being healed. As a result, the repaired pixels blend seamlessly into the rest of the image.
