So far, you have seen tools that can modify brightness, shadow, colour, contrast, sharpness, and more. These tools can be used in combination to help with a wide range of image retouches or repairs. You should be happy to learn that there is still another group of tools that play an important part when it comes to retouching images: the stamp tools and brush tools.

In this lesson, you will learn about the healing brush and the patch tool. You will also learn about the clone stamp and the pattern stamp tool. These tools can be extremely helpful when retouching images and they are easy to use.

Unlike the retouch tools in the previous lessons, the stamp and brush tools that follow are used primarily for removing, blending, or covering up blemishes or other unwanted elements. These tools are fun to use, and they can produce amazing results. If you are serious about photo editing, you will definitely want to add these tools to your repertoire.
