One of the most talked about enhancements in recent releases of Photoshop has been the Healing tool. Almost like magic, the tool can help users make corrections to scratches, dust, spots, wrinkles, birthmarks and other image flaws without a lot of adjustment and fuss. You simply sample a donor area (like you would with the clone tool) and then apply the sample to a target to cover the damage. Before the correction is completed, Photoshop compares the clone and the original, and makes a smart correction that fits better with the image than cloning or manual adjustment can.

Until now, Elements users have only heard about what Healing can do. But, with the release of the Hidden Power Mend tool, Elements users can experience the same type of corrective power without having to save up hundreds of dollars to purchase Photoshop. The Mend tool works on Mac and PC using either Photoshop Elements versions 1 or 2 [specify version only at the time of your order].

 

The Mend tool helps users make quick work of difficult corrections just like Healing can. Like the Healing tool, the Mend tool actually compares the sampled area (clone) with the target and makes adjustments based on the content of the image. These adjustments help the correction blend into the image seamlessly, making for better corrections, and faster image editing. Mend can save hours at the computer and can free up time for the more creative aspects of image editing.

The Mend tool is the first and only tool of its kind for Elements users. You can get it for just $10. To help you see what it can do, I've included a short tutorial and demonstration, the release notes for the Mend tool, and a link where you can buy your copy. If you need more convincing, download the sample image, and try to make the corrections with your current tools. Chances are you'll spend hours making corrections that took only minutes with the Mend tool.

     

WANT MORE DYNAMIC IMAGES?!?! The new Hidden Power Dynamic Images tool may be just what you need! This semi-automated correction tool adds more pop to images without obliterating detail. Rescue faded, and poorly exposed images, or get the most from images that already look good!.
