[h1]Removing Wrinkles[/h1]
Here is an example of what we will be doing.


Now, I know what you're thinking... removing wrinkles is hard, thats what people get paid to do. Well, you're wrong. It's actually one of the easiest things to do in Photoshop.

Click here to for the picture I used in this tutorial.

1. Open the image you want to manipulate.
 a. Duplicated the layer with the persons face on it, never work on the original layer.
 b. Select the Healing Brush Tool . Use a relatively small brush size. I used 7 and 9. (This will depend on how large or small your image is).
 c. Zoom in to 200% or so. More or less depending on the size of your image.
 d. Now, you want to find a spot on their face without wrinkles, but close to the wrinkled area. You want the same skin tone, but wrinkle free. Alt + Click the smooth area, then click and drag over a wrinkle as illustrated in the screen shot below.

 It should now look something like this.

 e. Now, simply repeat the previous steps on other portions of the face. The tool will do its best to match the density and color of the part you paint over, but it can only do so much.

2. Under the eye.
 a. Ok, this can get a little tricky. You don't want to over do it, it will look unnatural.
 b. Lets just do the nearby area.
 Screen Shot
 It should now look something like this. A little wrinkles under the eye is expected and everyone has it. Removing too much will make them look alien.

3. File > Save...

That's it, I told you it was easy. Just like that, you take 10 years off some ones face.

i keep feeling like this picture was a little too close up... nice work on the tutorial though.

nice tutorial, it turned out better than i thought it would, ofcourse i would have used the good ole clone stamp tool and some blurring, but thats good ole  lazy me in action

clone tool takes the exact same thing from the spot you alt clicked, the healing tool doesnt just copy and paste like that, it creates stuff to blend in instead of just copying it straight up

LMAO

nice tutorial simple yet effective

To smooth skin you will need a lot more time . I will write a basic smooth skin tutorial for you some time soon.

wellllllll its nice...my mom will be fond of this one

thx for the tutorial
