Skin
Everybody's got it, and sometimes you take a picture that's not quite as lovely and blemish free as you'd like. This is why I decided I'd like these last few months of the year to be used working on learning how to do touch-ups to real photos. Well, just the one, actually. I got a little overly ambitious when I selected the picture I wanted to work on because there is so much that needs correction.
So, who's the lucky (in this case) celebrity? Why, it's no other than Mila Kunis. You know, that "far out" chick from That 70's Show and other stuff. :) I think Mila is beautiful, but this picture of her is not one of her best moments. Still, it has the potential to be just as pretty as I know it can be, so I got to work.
That takes me back to first things being first--Skin. My goal this time around was to fix her:
- Leathery Forehead
- Pock-Marks from Pimples
- Large Pores
My tool of choice for this was the lovely healing tool. And boy did it heal. The trick was not to go overboard so it doesn't look fake. Here are the before and afters:

After Picture:
For better comparison, here are the 2 main parts of the face that needed repair (and took the most time):

Forehead Before/After:
Hopefully I succeeded in making her skin look a lot better than it did starting out. Later on this month I'll make some more progress. I think I'll remove the fiy-away hairs from her face and perhaps something else. That will get me caught up on my PS posts.
Anyway, I hope anyone reading sees the healing tool for the awesome thing that it is.
Peace,
