Acne Removal + Photoshop tips to improve facial attractiveness

[PhotoExtremist]

Very simple but it's the little touches that count eh?



Simply used the Clone Stamp Tool and/or the Content Aware Fill Spot Healing brush for the acne. To desaturate, I duplicated the layer, made the top layer black and white and lowered the opacity.

Also used the Bloat tool when in Liquify mode to make the right eye larger in order to match the left eye (symmetry in faces = attractive)

more tips:

• darker iris edges = attractive. (Use the Burn tool for this)
  
• dilated pupils = warm/welcoming. attractive. (Use the bloat tool or perhaps the burn tool for this)
  
• whiter sclera (the white part of the eyeball) = shows you have good genes. attractive. (Use the Sponge tool and make sure Desaturate is checked at the top)

^ just read that humans are universally more attracted to these attributes, so keep this in mind when you are in Photoshop editing pics of your model!

Thanks for the tips. I've still been wanting to try the spinning, burning steel wool effect.

Nice work! I like what you did.
But your picture's way too big... I can't see all of it because there's on advertisement on the side of the page covering half of it up. You may want to re-size it smaller
