Thanks, all, for the many fine suggestions. I have an older version of Portrait Professional and just upgraded from PSE 7 to 13. I hesitated using Portrait Pro in this instance, but I'll certainly give it a try this afternoon. It'll take that long to clear the snow out of th driveway.

To me, the bigger problem with the photo is the flash lighting. The flash looks like it was straight on the subject. You can see the shadow on the wall behind him. The lighting looks very flat. A more appealing lighting effect can be achieved by bouncing the flash of the ceiling and by having the subject a little bit farther from the wall.
Yes, I suppose I should have prefaced this with, "I'm not looking for critique, I'm looking for help with the kid's acne."
But thanks for your input.

repairing this is not particularly difficult, but it IS terribly time-consuming. I do not have the time to go into how to do it, but you DO need to be quite proficient with Photoshop. Some can be done in ACR, but the heavy lifting requires detailed use of the patch tool, clone stamp, the HSL dialog, etc.
This images falls short in a number of areas, not just his acne.
I take it by his expression, he was not really involved with the process.

Cliff,
Yeah, he really didn't want to be there. I realize this isn't the best shot of a couple hundred I took, but i did want to show the acne.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to meet with him before the shoot. Even if I had , I'm not sure what I'd have done differently.
Thanks, though, for the input.

I did senior pictures for a guy here in town (actually did em a few months ago when the weather was better).
Anyway, he's a nice kid, but has a really bad acne problem. We spent a nice morning doing outside shots, some at the beach, some at a couple other places.
His mom was along, so there were shots she wanted, and I went along with it.
Anyway, I've attached a crop of one of the shots. I did the best I could with his acne, but the best I could do was to get his face down to a mild orange glow.
Have any of you ever encountered this problem, and what, if anything, did you do to correct it.

Is your 5200 keeping you from doing something you'd like?
Do you think a more expensive camera will make you a better photographer?
Just a couple of questions you may want to ask yourself.

If you're sued, just tell 'em you got the ok from your friends on the Hog.
Your question may be better answered by a lawyer, I believe, since laws vary from location to location.

They see you when you're sleeping,
They know when you're awake...
C'mon man, you don't really believe this, do you?

We think they should be posted in the Photo Gallery, and not the Main Photography Discussion.

In Part 2, he shows you how to dry them in a clothes dryer. Tip: Turn the volume down if you watch it.
By the way, the Canon 5D Mk 11 is waterproof, so cleaning it like that is okay. Right?

This may well be my favorite thread ever.

Lots of interesting stuff there! I've only shot 4 weddings, so I've got plenty to learn, and this is real-life stuff.
Thanks for running it!

My favorite part was watching the bubbles come out of the lens as it drowned.
Can I assume this method applies to Nikon as well? I'd sure like to clean mine soon!
And, since this IS the Hog, I'd like to interject here that (music swells) Ansel Adams preferred this method of lens cleaning.
There! After six pages with nobody mentioning (music swells) Ansel Adams, something's wrong in Hogland.

And by the way, senormule, just ignore all the idiots that posted with stupid comments. They really do not care to help, they just want to show their ignorance and make dumb comments.

The original posting, and almost all the replies, are stellar example of "humor". You might consider punching up "humor" on Google. There you will see a copy of Señor Mule's avatar.
Don't worry! Lackahumor can be overcome. It'll take some work on your part, but it's well worth the effort involved. You'll be a happier person for it.
