Description

The settings used for each technique were taken right from the lesson plan I only altered the size of the brush.

I used the spot healing on the face with the small pimples and the mole on the neck.

The healing brush was used to remove the blemish on his chin.

The clone stamp was used to add to the background. I didn't like the open area in the background - with all my excitement I missed this when I was taking the picture. I had to redo this 3 times - the first time it was too botchy and you could see lines. I'm still not pleased - I agree when you said it takes a lot of practice - maybe this is too large of an area to work on.

I tried to alter the skin tone on his face it looked a bit pale- maybe it looks a bit too orange now.

I also tried to change the colour of his eyes but I couldn't figure this out, so I left them as they are - they are actually more of a grey colour.

I also opened a layer to adjust the lighting - bightness is -1 and contrast is a -7
