A photograph used to be a permanent record of a singular moment in time. With digital imaging, however, a photograph can be improved, enhanced, and even fundamentally changed to hide the "truth" of the original moment it captured. Through retouching, you can repair minor flaws such as scratches and holes and remove distortion caused by the camera lens or high file compression. You can even improve a human subject, removing red eye, erasing freckles and blemishes, and whitening teeth. In this chapter, I'll teach you how to use Paint Shop Pro's (PSP's) tools and filters to retouch your photographs and make them as good as new (or even better!).
