so, i usually only hit auto enhance/ auto anything on any program i use (i.e. aperture) so i figured i'd try and learn my way around PS a little...here is my first try ( a rather easy job of cleaning out backscatter)...i know i have a long way to go but so far, so okay....baby steps for me.

Take a look at 'step 2' in my article: 5 Minute Photoshop Edit for Underwater Photographs

Basically, the 'backscatter removal' consists of:

1) Make duplicate layer.
2) Apply 'Dust and Scratches' filter.
3) Use 'History Brush' (darken) to zap it all away with a big brush.
4) A little touch-up with a small eraser brush over the fine edges of feature.

:D

I have a question: When you apply the history brush, how can you see the effect of the brush - or at least see where you have already brushed and where you still need to brush? When I do that, I can't see the brush's effect...

Thanks,

JD
