Tips and tricks for Touch-up tools

- Eraser removes any applied effects until photo is saved. Saving your photo flattens the effects. If you save and then reopen a photo you will start with a new effects overlay.
- Clone Stamp, Smudge and Eraser tools require photo to be zoomed to the original level. Zoom level is reset automatically when using Clone Stamp, Smudge or Eraser. If you want to fit a bigger part of a photo on screen for editing, you need to select a smaller canvas size (Settings->Canvas Size) and reopen your photo ...

- Keep an eye on a toolbar - if it has button 'Toggle Pan&Zoom', you are in photo editing mode and pressing this button will allow you to adjust image position. If the button has title 'Toggle Editing' you are in photo pan & zoom mode, and pressing the button will allow you to start image editing.
- Before touching image, make sure you have selected necessary brush size. There is an instant preview for brush size in image editing mode.
- Pencil draws faster when image zoom is reset to the original level. To quickly reset zoom, you can press 'Eraser' button.
- Pencil draws continuous lines with hard edges, while Brush tool draws numerous circles with set opacity and edge hardness.
- Pencil, Brush and Stamps work with any of color blending modes (Settings->Blend Modes). To apply color blending to entire image, simply press 'Entire Image' in side menu and touch your photo.
- At detailed zoom level, instead of Brush, use Pencil with a proper blending mode. This will ensure that all lines are drawn continuously.
