Portfolious

Hey guys, today I have a very short and simple tutorial that I feel has been done on many websites, but it can’t hurt to post one on here as well. Today, we are going to eliminate most of the “pimples” and other face and or neck blemishes from our subject. These few steps can improve the look of your portraits, and personal pictures.

What you need:

Photoshop CS2/3/4

This is a picture I took in my school studio last week, the model has a fair complexion with some problems that good ole’ photoshop can fix.

Lets start by zooming in on our subject to get a better view of his “problems”.

Next, lets go in and start removing his blemishes.

Select your Clone Stamp tool. (S on Keyboard)

Find your blemished area, take your Clone Stamp and hold down Option or Alt next to the area you want to fix. You will notice your brush circle will change to a crosshair. Select the area closest to the blemish.(Please note: Make sure your brush size is close to the size of the zit, pimple, or blemish.)

After you’ve selected your area, click on the area you want to remove.

Its gone!

After some work, you can get rid of everything and it should look like this.
