| The Darken and Lighten brushes are like the Pixels brush, except that they only copy pixel values if that copy will make the target get darker or lighter, respectively. This is occasionally handy when retouching small isolated features such as the bristles of an insect. | The Darken and Lighten brushes are like the Pixels brush, except that they only copy pixel values if that copy will make the target get darker or lighter, respectively.

| + | ===== I did not save a project. Can I retouch anyway? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yes, in most cases. But the process is cumbersome, so it's better to use File > Save Project and File > Open Project as intended. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In detail, the process goes like this: | ||
| + | - Open or re-create a project that has source images in the same alignment that produced the image you want to retouch. | ||
| + | - Go to Options > Preferences > Preprocessing, and put a checkmark on the option to "Add files to existing project as already aligned". | ||
| + | - Add the image that you want to retouch, into the Input Files panel. You can do this by either drag-and-drop or File > Add File(s). | ||
| + | - Be sure the project has as least one output image. Create one by stacking, if necessary. | ||
| + | - Select any output image. | ||
| + | - Edit > Start Retouching. | ||
| + | - Set scale to "Fit window". | ||
| + | - Position the retouching brush in the center of the image, then resize it big enough to cover the entire image at one time. | ||
| + | - Click once, to replace all pixels in the placeholder with pixels from the image that you really want to retouch. The "Current Retouched Image" will then be equal to the image you want to retouch, just as if it would have been if selected from the Output Images panel. | ||
| + | - Resize the retouching brush to be a normal small size. | ||
| + | - Proceed with retouching as you originally intended. | ||
