- Sometimes you may be taken aback
or a little apprehensive about if you're actually going
to be able to remove that hard element from your images
using only Lightroom and not going over into Photoshop.
I can assure you, you can do it.
And I'm going to give you the tips and tricks
that you need in order to make that happen right now.
So if I go ahead and zoom in,
you can see that I do have quite an intricate stray hair
that's coming across the face
that might be a little bit harder to remove
if I removed it as one piece.
But here's the little power user tip
that I have for you guys today.
Using the spot removal tool, we are going to use it on heel.
I'm just going to do it in segments.
So I'm going remove one bit of it.
And then I'm going to kind of relocate
that healing section to make sure I'm not creating
any duplicative elements.
So I'm actually purposefully relocating the first bit
of the heal.
I'm going to go ahead and accept that change.
And at this point, just going to go ahead and get rid
of that little bit right there over the hair there
on the eyebrow.
And then the next time I'm going to go ahead
and remove this section,
which will allow me to relocate this area right there.
And then lastly, just want to come in and get rid
of that tiny little hair right there.
The moral of this section being
if you have an area that's got lots of different areas
that you are trying to fix or lots of different problems
that you're trying to fix,
sometimes the best mode to mitigate those
is going to be to remove them independently of one another
or in chunks.
You don't have to do everything at exactly the same time.
So just keep that in mind
when it comes to retouching larger areas
that you don't necessarily need to do everything together,
especially if it's a larger intricate thing
that you're trying to heal.
So if I go ahead and zoom out and go ahead and turn on
and off our spot removal tool, LightSwitch,
you can see that we were able to remove that hair quite well
using the tools that we had.
And the tip for removing that hair well is going to be
to do it in increments or do it in segments.
