Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Removing skin blemishes with Spot Healing (CC 2014), part of Photoshop CC for Photographers: The Basics.
…Let's take a look at how we can retouch away…or remove skin blemishes, or variations using the spot healing brush.…And whenever I'm retouching a portrait, I like to do my retouching…on a separate layer because that gives us flexibility in case we…make a mistake, so let's begin this project by creating a new…layer, and we'll click on the new layer icon in the layers panel.…Then, double click that layer name, and let's call this one retouching.…Next, we need to zoom in, so, press Command Plus on a…Mac, or Control Plus on Windows a few times to zoom in.…
Then, if you press the space bar key and hold that down, you can…then click and drag to the area the photograph, that you're focusing in on.…And here I'm going to get really close so we can see some…of those small little skin variations that we want to clean up.…Now it all begins by selecting the spot healing brush.…You could do so, by clicking on the spot healing brush icon.…Here it is right there, after you selected the tool you…want to go up to your Options bar, and choose your brush size.…
