zits be gone! photoshop job

[DeepSpring]

I was wondering how you thought this came out? What I can do to fix his face better. I didn't want it to get too fake and model looking so I tried not to make it "perfect"

Feel free to edit

Good job, the whole thing looks a little red though.

 

[DeepSpring]

thanks.

red as in the general tone of the picture? I think when I moved the curves it came from the orange locks.... I never get good tones in that hallway pictures of film. But thats easily fixed

Here is my attempt at cleaning it up.
I don't know if it is any better, one thing I noticed is that in the edited imange you have it seems a bit harsh in some areas on the face where you removed the blemishes.

sorry if i'm being stupid, but did you use the clone tool to do this? i'm pretty new to photoshop.

 

[DeepSpring]

speedtrap I like yours more

did you turn the opacity down a lot on the clone tool when you got around the edge of your fixing?


quad b yeah I used clone tool

I do tend to bring the opacity down in some areas (50-30%), but I often to recreate the sample spot on every blemish I fix and sometime two different samples for each blemish, I find it give a more balanced look.
