Paint Shop Pro offers many options for retouching your photos. You can remove red eyes from people, or the green eye of animals using the Red Eye tool. If there are scratches, cracks, and other unwanted defects on a relatively smooth background, use the Scratch Remover tool. If there are many small scratches or creases, use the Automatic Small Scratch Remover command. If there are elements you want to remove, use the Clone Brush tool. Use the retouch tools to lighten, darken, emboss, change colors, and apply other retouches to parts of the image.
