All-Purpose Retouching

The All-Purpose Retouching mode can be used to process any type of defects but is particularly suitable for large and medium-sized imperfections.

Mark the areas to be retouched using the selection tools. The selected areas are highlighted in red.

All-Purpose Retouching Parameters:

• Sample Size (0-16) affects the size of sample fragments. At higher values of this parameter, more of the background's texture is preserved, but image detail appears coarser.

  Sample Size = 3

  
  Sample Size = 14
• Sample Number (1–50) affects the number of sample fragments taken from surrounding areas and used in reconstruction. They are chosen randomly. At higher values, more of the background's texture is reconstructed, but processing time increases.

• Search Radius (16-250) affects the size of the area used to search for sample fragments used in reconstruction. The higher the value, the longer reconstruction takes. If the radius is too large, sample fragments from remote areas of the image could be chosen, which would not be suitable in reconstruction.

• Smoothing check-box. This mode reduces the transition between fragment edges. It's helpful if edges are similar in texture but not in color. If the check-box is deactivated there is no alignment.

• Fast Processing check-box. When this check-box is activated, processing speed is increased by simplifying the original image. This is useful in most cases and allows you to quickly get a good result.
