   Then, we ensure that we've clicked the right layer that we want to edit

   We zoom in

   .

   We can do that by either clicking the magnifying glass in the corner or by pressing "Ctrl" and "+" on the keyboard. In this video, we can see that the image does not have the best quality. The picture has some sort of speckles and noise.

   If we click "Despeckle" again, the image will be a little more foggier
