Question: Please Help Me! Will Photoshop 7 Be good enough to Retouch Glamour Nude photos!?
I had previously hire an excellent photographer to take some Glamour Nude photos, so we had the right lighting and studio and all we need for good photos!. The shots are awesome, except that i need some way of taking away scars, lines and other skin imperfections!. I got Photoshop 7 to help me, and then photoshop for dummies book!.
There is so much in the book, to learn!.
I just want to lear how to use Layers and The Healing Brush!. Any good tips web site on line, or any better book!. My photographer can do it but she is unaprochable, i think she got Diva syndrome!., very expensive and never has time, so i had enough and decided to do it myself!. Please help me!
Today i went to all the book stores in my city, It looks like i got the wrong softwear!. Because most books are about Photoshop CS3, should i just change programmes or photoshop 7 will do it!?
I just want to take away scars, and lines and other body images imperfections!. Thank you!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If it wasn't for the nature of the pictures (and your obvious need for privacy) I would offer to retouch them!. Anyway, the tool you are looking for is the clone tool!. Basic operation is to select an area of skin close to the problem spot to use to replace the problem spot!. I have Photoshop elements and GIMP so I can't give you specific instructions for your application!. If you are shopping around for an application for the non-artist to do a few photos, there is an application called Portrait Professional that does what you are looking for!. Everything is controlled with sliders and can give a decent finish with a little practice!.

Hope this helpsWww@QuestionHome@Com

did you get photoshop elements 7 !? If so it can do all of the things you say you want to do though it may take a few more steps than CS would!. It does the vast majority of things most photographers need Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you have the full version of Adobe Photo Shop 7 you have all the power in the world for image editing!.!. Hell, you could have PS 5 and still have all the power you would ever need!.!.!.

I hope you didn't pay a fortune for it, but I bet the books came close!. Too bad you didn't look into Paint Shop Pro 12 (PSPX2)!.!. Again, a LOT of power but at $89!.00 at many big box stores, it's a bargain and has the ability to remove scars, blemishes, pimples and soften wrinkles if not remove them completely and a whole lot more!.!.

If you use the - HELP - files with-in the program, it will give you what you ask in the way of directions!.

Good luck!.
