Paint brush tool

 I had a shoot recently for my set brief. This involved a Slinkachu set up which was placed on a table in the studio. Unfortunately, the background isn't adequate and needs to be edited. I used the paint brush tool to paint the background black. 

                          Original. (notice Blue Tac under the feet)

Also, blue tac was removed from the feet of the little figures with the Spot Healing Brush. This helped blend the area in. Also, some elements of the contrast were edited with the curve tool. 

Assessing the effectiveness of both these tools, I would of found it difficult to create an image that was free of blemishes without these tools.
