It also works best if you click on individial spots with it rather than trying to paint over the entire problem area at once. The left bracket key makes the brush smaller, and the right bracket key makes it larger. The Healing Brush works best when you set the brush size to just slightly larger than the area you're trying to heal, and you can quickly change the size of the brush using the left and right bracket keys. By selecting the "Sample All Layers" option, Photoshop is able to sample from not only the layer we're on but also from any layer(s) below it, which is exactly what we want. The Healing Brush works by sampling the color, tone and texture from part of the image but since we're working on a new blank layer, there's nothing on the layer for the Healing Brush to sample. You'll need this option selected whenever you're using the Healing Brush on a separate layer as we're doing here. Select "Sample All Layers" in the Options Bar. I could also go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen, choose Transform, and then choose Perspective and then drag either of the bottom corner handles outward, but I find the keyboard shortcut easier so I'm going to hold all three keys down at once and drag the bottom right corner handle outward, which is also going to drag the bottom left corner handle outward as well, and I'll continue dragging until the shadow lines under her cheeks no longer appear broken: Technically, this is what Photoshop calls transforming the selection in "perspective", and I'm simply using the keyboard shortcut to access this mode. Holding all three keys down at once as I'm dragging the bottom corner handle tells Photoshop to drag the bottom corner handle on the opposite side as well while leaving the top two corner handles locked in place. To fix that, I'm going to bring up the Free Transform handles once again with "Ctrl+T" (Win) / "Command+T" (Mac) and this time, I'm going to hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) and drag either of the bottom corner handles out to the side. The shadows under her cheeks no longer run in smooth, continuous lines but appear broken. She is simply the unfortunate victim of this tutorial: ![]() Before we begin, I just want to make it clear that I am not saying this woman needs a nose job. Here's the image I'll be working with in this tutorial. In fact, all you need is the Lasso Tool, the Free Transform command, and the Healing Brush to clean up any rough spots. Fortunately, Photoshop makes digital plastic surgery a breeze without the need for any fancy surgical tools or even a steady hand. Seriously though, let's face it, sometimes photos don't do people justice, and even though in real life their nose may be a textbook example of what a human nose is supposed to look like, a wrong focal length setting on the camera lens, bad lighting or an unflattering angle can distort reality and make things look bigger than they really are. You simply had to because it was so much fun and so easy to do! ![]() Or at least, that's what you can tell them when they ask you why you made their nose smaller. This photo editing technique is so simple and easy, you'll be tempted to use it on photos of people who honestly don't need it. In this Photo Retouching tutorial, we're going to learn how incredibly easy it is to give someone a digital nose job (not that anyone we know would need it, of course!).
