Minor Touchups

I don’t photograph a lot of people, but I did headshots for my office — Jason, here, had a couple of days before been mauled by one of his children. (They’ll do that, apparently). So I decided to try my hand at removing the offending scabs. I don’t like my images to look super photoshopped, so I didn’t do any crazy retouching, just removed the blemishes. My tip if you’re trying something like this– use a big fuzzy brush (I used a 20px dia fuzzy) and set the transparency to 50% This lets you just sort of smooth over anything offending, and lets you dress texture across without making it look cloned.
