So you might need to lighten one face in the group without adjusting the whole picture. Or you might want to improve the Thanksgiving photo by removing your sister's ex-husband. The more detailed the work, the more it calls for good selection tools. Another benefit provided by the programs, and particularly by PhotoDeluxe, is an improved ability to fix colors and sharpen blurry images. When you're taking photos indoors, the results frequently appear tinted in a strange and unwelcome way.
Fluorescent lights are often the culprits, imparting a greenish hue to the scene.
PhotoDeluxe offers a fix for fluorescent lighting that reduces the green tone in one click. The two programs also introduce the cloning tool, a powerful device for retouching photos. With a cloning tool, you can paint over portions of a photo with images from another region. That's perfect for removing unwanted elements, such as a pimple on your spouse's nose or a beer bottle next to the wedding cake. To clean an item from a table, for example, you would position the tool over an empty part of the tabletop, then paint over the unwanted item.
