I found a tutorial that explained how to soften portraits, and I thought I'd try it on one I took of my daughter.
I adjusted levels, applied a gaussian blur to a layer and erased the detail areas around the eyes and mouth. While I don't always like the black and whites with selective coloring, I did in this one. I wanted to remove the spot in her nostril, but I couldn't ever get it to look just right. The healing brush didn't do much and a light airbrush didn't blend. Advice on that would be great. Thanks for looking.
