Photoshop Tutorials

In photography today we looked at Photoshop tutorials and then recreated the effects by using these tutorials. I chose to learn how to get rid of blemishes and spots using photoshop.


Before;

This is the image before i edited it. I used the Spot Healing brush tool in Photoshop. I had to click on the spot that I wanted to get rid of, and it would make it look like normal skin.

After; 

I could use this tool in my magazine in case I needed to edit any shots that I was going to use, to make it look glossier and well presented. It would fit in will with the whole 'glossy magazine' image.
