- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I was told about dust spots in my photos. I know I need to get my camera sensor cleaned. For right now however I'd like to clean up the photos I have already taken. I have sight problems and find it hard to see the spots, I have removed those I saw, but was told there were others. I searched tutorials online as to how to bring out the spots that are hard to see. Most said the same thing, adjust the levels or curves to bring them out. With pse10 however there doesn't seem to be a way to go back once spots are removed and undo the levels adjustment. I found one video explaining how to use adjustment layers.
I have never been able to grasp how to use layers. I understand their function , I just don't get how to use them if that makes sense. The information goes into my head an gets all jumbled and makes no sense - much like math problems for me. The video I found gave the following instructions:
Create an adjustment layer, create a curves or levels layer. Adjust levels or curves until you see the spots. Make a copy of the background layer, remove the spots. and you're done!Turn off curves or levels layer. And that was it. He didn't say how to save anything. I saved the copy layer, but when I opened it, the spots were still there. What did I do wrong?
I should also mention I do not shoot RAW, and I only have PSE10
