I Call Upon The Wisdom Of The Photoshop Gods - Blemish Removal

edited February 2008 in Games and Technology
I have Photoshop Elements 2 on OSX. My Friend has PE4. She was showing me on her ver that there is a tool that lets you pretty much remove acne and other blemishes with just a click or two. I forget what it was called. Blemish Tool. Makeup Tool. Something like that. PE2 doesnt have anything quite as handy as that. I really want something like that, but I dont want to buy a newer ver of Photoshop just for that feature. Does anyone know of a plugin or SOMETHING that is similar to the blemish removal tool in PE4 that would work in PE2? I am looking for something in the free-to-$0.00 price range.

    Remove a ring from a finger

    You could probably apply this tutorial to removing blemishes.

    Don't know about Elements because I haven't used it (just full PS), but if there's a clone stamp tool and/or a healing tool on the toolbar, those are what you want. Very easy to remove blemishes and such things with them.

    Really though, watch the tutorial, even if it doesn't apply. It's Dane Cook doing Photoshop stuff (although you're not supposed to know it's him)

    What's great is that you can actually learn some pretty cool tricks by watching them, too.

    Healing Brush! That is what it is called. Is there any way I can have something like that in Photoshop Elements 2?

    If you have access to clone stamp, sample a bit of skin very near to the blemish, set your opacity to 100% and your flow to 12% or so, and use a soft-edged round brush on the blemish.

    Failing that, use the color select tool near the blemish to get a nice skin tone. Using the paintbrush tool with 100% opacity and 2% or 3% flow, select a soft-edged round brush (MUCH larger than you think you need). These settings will let you "gently" paint over the trouble spot without it standing out too horribly. This is how conventional airbrushing works.

    yeah I did learn a few cool things while watching, I probably won't remember them, but it sure made me laugh.

    I just use the eyedropper near some clean skin close to the blemish and use the spray can to paint over it. IF it sticks out too much undo and find a better skin color to sample with the eyedropper and do it again.

    That doesn't even sound remotely close to Dane Cook. His humor is a little similar, but it is safe to say it is not him.
