Blemish removal on seniors

[JMM]

What is the best way to fix uneven skin on a senior boy using paint shop pro x3? Using the blemish remover looks fine, but the red uneven skin is difficult. Using skin smoother to almost any degree in my opinion looks too femine.

Hi Joyce,

I was to find Paint Shop Pro X Tutorials with a quick Google search. The fourth tut down 'Giving an Extreme Makeover' should do the trick. Hope this helps.

Hello Sonny,

I understand all of that, it just does not work for splotchy skin. Lightly cloning with a brush opacity around 30 works pretty well except when most of the skin is uneven. Skin smoothing is too smooth for my taste.

JMM - I finished editing my first senior portraits a few nights ago. I removed all the pimples except the redness from it using the spot removal tool. Removing the redness is just too much work for me. I posted the latest on my site blog if you want to check it out. Dallas Wedding Photographer Photography By Chantal.

He looks good, but I think my guy skin is not that clear.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'm a Photoshop guy.

Thanks for the try. As far as I can see there is no solution.
