Apple Macintosh PhotoFlash - Manual (Page 100)

Using the Remove Scratch command
The Remove Scratch command, like the DeScratch tool, works best if you
first carefully select the part of the image from which you want to remove a
scratch. Follow these steps:
1 Select the part of the image from which you want to remove a scratch.
For instructions on using the Selection tools, see Chapter 3, “Working
With Selections.”
2 Choose Remove Scratch from the Enhance menu.
The Enhance dialog box appears.
3 Adjust the sliders as necessary to remove the scratch.
Try fairly low settings first. Check the Before and After views to see the effect
of changing the settings. The higher the Width setting, the wider a scratch can
be for PhotoFlash to recognize it as a scratch. The higher the Sensitivity
setting, the more image elements PhotoFlash interprets as scratches.
If you raise either of these settings too high, PhotoFlash may interpret valid
elements of the image such as trees, poles, or wallpaper patterns as scratches.
Always use the lowest settings that remove the scratches on your image.
