iPhoto: Please Help!

[Amie]

There's a "Retouch" tool with a paintbrush icon in iPhoto, but it doesn't seem to work or do much of anything. I click on it and see the little green dot light up and then it says "Use one of the brush tools to retouch." WHERE are the brush tools???

No one knows?...

I've been using a newer version of iPhoto (7.0.2), which doesn't use any brush tools, as far as I can tell, just a simple circle cursor that you wipe across the area to retouch. Not really a retouch, but what I would call a 'wipe and fog' effect. The cursor circle can be enlarged with a slider, which is the only control for retouch.
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Amie,
you tweaked my curiosity so I checked out the retouch in my version of iPhoto (6.01).
It appears there is only 1 default brush tool available, the little "pop-up" label is only indicating what retouch does.
If you first click on "Retouch", then position the crosshair cursor over a blemish, (usually in the form of a white dust speck) and click, you may have to move the cursor a tad and repeat the clicking, the blemish will in fact disappear into the background. So it does work, albeit somewhat limited.

OK, thanks to you both for confirming. I found out about the limited brush tool usage by experimenting with iPhoto, but I thought there was supposed to be more ... thought I was missing something. Thanks again!
