Here is my first step results with just removing the red. I'm amazed. I have so many kids with these red blemishes. This is going to make my job of removing red much easier. I like it better than hue sat which I usualy do.
thanks for the great tutorial leuallen!!

I didn't feel my first attempt was too blotchy, but it did give me the opportunity to research and finding a new technique. That's what I love about this site. There is always a reason for everything.

Here is my second version. Hopefully they will like it so I can get on with the rest of my seniors. Around 150 to go.

Vicki,

Glad you found the tutorial useful.

I have worked out a variation that is for general skin retouching. I am still fine tuning it. When I am done i will post that.

The new method gives a much more natual look than the usual Gaussian blur and punt method. It is a little more complex, but not horribly so. It gives results near the high-end method of using a 50% softlight gray dodge and burn layer, but is much faster and less work.

I just received an email from ShootSmarter.com for a tutorial on erasing acne with the replace color adjustment by Suzette Allen.

It works pretty good, but not for the image I posted here because his overall skin tone is red. I tried it on some of my other images and it worked great.

Suzette Allen has some good tutorials that you can find on ShootSmarter.

Ciao Vicki
