digital photo editing

« what does your front door say something nice at work »

I’m over at Lisa and Jeff’s digital photography blog, Beyond Megapixels, today giving some tips on editing photos in Photoshop.

The healing brush (number 1) is the most amazing (and easiest) tool for cleaning up skin, minor blemishes, and slight lines. Select this tool, in the brush properties I suggest going with 50% hardness or experimenting. Setting the hardness too low will create an unnaturally smooth look if overused. ALT+Click on a clear area of skin that is a similar color and tone to the area you want to clean up. Patiently brush away one blemish at a time, don’t be afraid to undo and redo until you have it perfect.

Lisa, get it while you are still in school – student discount, woohoo!

BB, yay! I’m glad you’ll be able to use the info. Those things ARE very important. I NEVER let an unedited photo of myself go out if I can help it. Except for this one, first ever willingly unedited by me and seen by the internets. Hah!

Lisa, you two are so welcome!
