Healing Brush

In this activity we will be using the healing brush to relieve a bad case of acne.

Sample Output

Steps

  1. Open Photoshop and get the Healing Brush. Here's how it works: press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard, and click on a spot without blemish.
  2. Release the Alt key. Click on a pimple.
  3. And suddenly the pimple is gone! You can also click and drag instead of just clicking after selecting with the Alt key.
  4. We're going to repeat steps 1 to 3 on each blemish. Here's my before and after for the forehead.
  5. And then we work on the cheeks.
  6. We're going to use the Dodge Tool next for the cheeks to apply some 'foundation'. Just click on a spot you want to lighten. Repeat for each spot.
  7. And you're done.

Now try the exercise.
