1. In the Layers panel, select the 12B_Start layer. Then, choose Duplicate Layer from the
Layers panel menu.
2. Name the new layer Corrections, and click OK.
Working on a duplicate layer preserves the original pixels so you can make changes later. You
can’t make changes using the healing brush tools on a Smart Object, so first you’ll rasterize the
layer.
3. Choose Layer > Smart Objects > Rasterize.
4. Zoom in on the model’s face so that you can see it clearly.
5. Select the Spot Healing Brush tool ( ).
6. In the options bar, select the following settings:
Brush Size: 35 px
Mode: Normal
Type: Content-Aware
7. With the Spot Healing Brush tool, brush out the nose jewelry. A single click may be
enough.
Because you’ve selected Content-Aware in the options bar, the Spot Healing Brush tool replaces
the nose stud with skin that is similar to that around it.
