any idea how to remove gooseflash from model skins?
i tried repair brush, point per point and it takes forever.
i also tried blurring the skin and bring back natural skin texture
with classical method of screen blend or soft light and some amount of
high pass filter, but it looks still to blurred.



thanks

Could you upload an example section for members to work on? That would help.

peterWhere do people get the idea that the goal is to finish first? Sounds like you were on the right track and talked yourself out of it.

i dont know.
here is a typical example. but i presume, there is no quick solution

Is 5 minutes quick enough?
Just turn up the heat at the next shoot.

Is this "too soft"? (High-end photography and retouching of this nature is not "my thing.")

when i have to deal with this, i usually try to get a good starting point with an overall D&S move. make a selection of the skin, and use these values, radius 6, threshold 20.

turn your layer on and off to see your result, you have removed the goosebumps, but now you will need additional work to smooth it out. D&B to even out the skintone, maybe a bit of noise added.

it's a start.

* here are my quick results, did the dust & scratches and 2 min of D&B to the skin to even it out a bit. of course if it's too soft to your liking, then lower the opacity to bring back a bit of the detail.

i like both of your works.
KR, this is my fave. its wonderful.
how does this work please?
D&S ?

sorry pure, D&S = dust & scratches. it's under the noise filters.

This is what I was able to accomplish, while trying to loose as little details as possible. :classic:

dodge and burn, baby ,..
