Removing the Scratch

Now you will fix the scratch that runs diagonally across the grass and Violetta s ankle. You will need to sample both areas separately to repair them.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose the Healing Brush tool .

2. Select a suitable brush from the Options bar. Place the cursor on the grass. Press Option/Alt, and click the mouse to sample an area.

3. Drag over the scratch to heal it with your sample. You might want to sample more than once.

4. Sample the ankle and repair the scratch. (The result should look like Figure H7.7.)
