InDesign has always been an excellent application for generating forms but, until now, adding the form fields themselves had to be done in Acrobat Professional, a process that could be time consuming, especially if you were creating complex forms. InDesign CS6 now includes built-in form field support, making form creation much easier and faster.

In this example I am using a quote request form for a fictional design company

The form has been designed and text boxes have been drawn in the areas designated for responses.

To convert the text boxes to form fields, select Window>Interactive>Buttons and Forms.

So we’ve looked at using the Clone Stamp Tool, but what if there were an even easier way to heal images? One where Photoshop blends the clone into the image for an even better look. Well, there is. In fact, there are a couple and we will be looking at using those today. The tools we will be using are called the Healing Brush Tool, Spot Healing Brush Tool and the Patch Tool.
