Removing freckles from a photo


GarryP

Recommended Posts

I recently bought Photo – almost seemed rude not to at the discounted price – and I’m amazed/daunted at the amount of tools that are in there.
It will probably take me a very long time just to get under the surface of what’s possible but I thought I’d give myself a little challenge.
I wanted to see if I could do some basic editing and decided to try and de-freckle a photo.
I’ve attached the original and result side by side.
I didn’t want to totally expunge every single ‘blemish’ and leave the young lady looking like a shop dummy so I tried to leave her skin as I think it could be without the freckles while still having some of the other things that skin naturally has.
It’s not perfect by any means but I was very pleased with what I could do in around an hour with just the Blemish Removal Tool (and Undo).
I haven’t posted this as any kind of “Look at this great thing I’ve done”, rather I’ve posted it in the hope that people thinking about buying Photo might ask themselves: “If this bloke can do this with no training or artistic talent, just think what could be possible if I got my hands on this.”

Note: I have absolutely nothing against freckles. I just chose the photo as it looked like a difficult one to experiment on, which, in the end, it wasn’t because of the tools in Photo.

So, did you do it with "Blemish Remover" or with "Frequency separation"?
