Today's Lesson: Advanced Editing - The Blur, Smudge, & Clone Tools
Today, I've got three additional tools to share with you for fine tuning your editing: the blur, smudge, and clone tools. Have you ever wanted to post a photo of a layout but wanted to blur out your text? OR do you have a photo with an unwanted object in the background that you wish you could remove? These tools are exactly what you're looking for! Join me today and learn how these three tools can help you do all this and more.
Homework: Play around with these three tools to get a feel for them. Specifically:
1. Remove an item/person/etc from the background of a photo using the Clone Tool.
2. Use the smudge tool to smudge out the text on your photo.
