Let me come back out and get a different image with a tricker line. One of the most common types of retouching you're likely going to want to do to some of your images. That is just so, so cool and very, very useful. I haven't done the whole thing and boom, it's done. And what I'm going to do is just going to come over this and I'm going to start to drag over that line, that's all. I'm going to come into my settings for the line and I can choose three different weights, in terms of how thick the line is. Basically, you start to specify where the line is and the app senses where the line extends through the image and it takes it out. The cool thing about the Line Remover is that you don't even have to go over the entire line. There's Line Remover and Segment Remover. Well, fortunately, TouchRetouch does have a Line Removal Tool. You have a power line or some other sort of line running through the picture. Again, I'll come back to my Retouching album here. Let's go get another picture and try another retouching scenario. So for simple object removal, TouchRetouch does a really excellent job. Now I see a little bit of a problem right there, so I'm just going to come back here and get the Quick Retouch and I'll just paint over that and there we go, that's taken care of. Now I didn't quite get all of the end there, so I'm going to use two fingers to scooch the picture over and I'll get that brush and just kind of brush along the side there, just to make sure I got all of it, and now all I have to do is tap this little Go button down here in the lower corner and presto, change-o, it is done. So that's really a downfall of the retouching features of a lot of apps, is that it's hard to see what's under your finger, so I really appreciate this loupe view.

And that's really useful because, of course, I can't see what's going on under my finger there. So I'm going to get the lasso tool and one of the things I like about TouchRetouch is that as I'm drawing, it shows me a little loupe view over here. I just think it would be a lot better photograph without that there and it just wasn't practical to go and chainsaw down the tree. So my objective with this composition, I really want to get rid of this palm tree coming in from the side. There's also an eraser if I make a mistake.

I've got a brush and I have a lasso tool. I've got two ways to specify how I'm going to remove the object or to tell the app what I want to remove.

So down at the bottom here, we have the Object Removal, we have Quick Retouch, Line Removal and a Clone Stamp. And I got a couple examples to show you some of the functionality that this app offers. So I'm going to come to my Albums here, and I've got a Retouching album set up here. It's called TouchRetouch and I found to be very, very useful. But there's a really cool retouching app that I use a lot. Now retouching is something that you might not think is very doable on the small screen of a phone, but a lot of it really depends on the app that you're using and the individual photo you're working on, how tricky it is and managing your expectations. Hi, I'm Sean, and this week, I want to talk to you a little bit about retouching on a mobile device and specifically on a phone.
