Figure 4.6
Portions of the extracted
figure are missing.

16. Select the Cleanup tool. This tool normally removes opacity from the foreground object. If you
hold down the Alt key, this tool works in reverse; it adds back opacity from the background.
Hold down the Alt key and paint her finger back in.

17. You may find that you have painted back in too much of her finger and that some of the back-
ground shows also. Release the Alt key and clean up these background areas as needed. You
may find that by reducing the brush size you can reach into smaller areas. Press the left and
right square bracket keys to reduce and enlarge the brush size, respectively.

NOTE You can leave the small area within her left hand alone for now. We will clean up the back-
ground inside her hand later in this tutorial.
18. Zoom out; you can do this by pressing Ctrl+- (that’s the Ctrl key and the hyphen key) or by
using the Alt key in combination with the Zoom tool. Navigate to her legs and shoes and clean
up any rough edges. Alternate between holding down the Alt key to add back the background
with the Cleanup tool and using the Cleanup tool normally to remove pixels as needed to
define a smooth, clean edge.
