The larger image wasn't available which would give me (us) more to work with so his skin still looks a little patchy. This was achieved with liberal use of the patch tool and then sampling and adding color to the region, finally some work on the red channel. I did no skin softening at all besides attempting to rectify the acne. It's still a little patchy for my tastes but I have to go to work now.

What I would probably do after this would be to patch in skin from the neck to even the cheek out a bit. Lot of work to be done on this image, but I think it's doable.

......its all gone, but he still looks like he has some kind of skin problem....

Done with the .jpg, could be much better with larger image. Totally with the clone tool in PS.

I had acne (not as bad as this) but I tried Proactiv, some RX stuff, all the over the counters, and then I said f' it and just stopped doing anything. Now when I tell people I had acne they can't believe it. So there's hope for him after all.

hands-down, Zom's was the best because it still looked relatively real. If you get it TOO smooth it will look weird and fakish. (no offense to anyone else's tries)

I'd take a crack at it myself but I'm at work and don't have photoshop. I may try it tonight, but would love to work off a larger image... do we not have one available still?

Here's my attempt. I just worked on it for a few minutes, nothing too intense.

In my opinion Zom's effort was still pretty blotchy, no offense Zom.

^^^ I thought they were all pretty blotchy. The key was that his didn't look like someone whomped the kid in the face with 4 tons of makeup.
