removing facial shine
Sep 2, 2012 15:53:39 #
Any suggestions on how I can soften or eliminate the "shine" on the graduates face?? I use PSE9 and am going to be checking my Scott Kelby books but would love to hear any recommendations.

Nice!- did you use the clone tool set to darken?
The color balance looks pretty far off to me.
I'm betting that light strip of fabric under the right side of her face (on the left side) is supposed to be white.
If you open this photo in Adobe Camera Raw, clicking on that with the white balance eyedropper instantly makes it look natural to me. (You can open jpeg files in raw)
I'll post my correction if you want.

I actually used a technique I found in a Scott Kelby book called advanced skin softening. This was first attempt so IMO, it's a bit rough but with practice I could see the value of becoming adept with it. Uf you would like to post, please feel free. I appreciate all the help I can get.

To fix the WB, all I did was click on the white fabric and got this:

well between the 2 of us, we did a pretty nice fix,my friend! If I had this open in PSE 9, which tool would be best to use to click on the white sash?

I set the Elements clone stamp to 50% or less and paint out the shiny areas. If there are edges in the result, they can be taken out with the blur tool. This is pretty easy and good enough for most situations. See examples.

I Used the clone on her forehead and the healing brush on the area below her eye.

In Photoshop I use "Curves," selecting the gray(middle) eye dropper tool and clicking the white area. Believe it or not this balances all the color.

I believe! Good tip!!
There are several ways to do most things in Photoshop. I open everything in the raw convertor first , raw, tif or jpeg.
Love your avitar!

Her orange-yellow skin color looks like she has liver failure. I think I'd mess around with that too.
