To break it down what I do
- Remove spots – using the SPOT toot and HEAL – with Opacity set to 100% so the spot is completely taken out and feather around 80 (although could be lower down to 50%) and the size realtive to the size of the spots (usually 10 – 20).
2. Reduce under eye using the heal tool, with opacity set to 40 so it is reduced rather than removed
3. Brightening the eyes – paint over the eyeball / immediate eye area with the below brush settings and then play with exposure to increase it around 0.3 – 1 stops. You can go a bit crazy with this and get a real pop but it won’t look natural – need to find a good balance
So in under 2 minutes you can quickly touch up a face with these three quick steps. More complex skin work or removal of objects requires Photoshop so this is nice easy quick win.
