I started out with the
quick mask in Noko's tutorial, but then I did a lot of trial and error by selecting a color on the face and then doing FILL and then adjusting the opacity.
Next I proceeded with the clone tool and healing brush.
I am just now leaving the novice stage in PS and I don't understand a lot of the tuts I try to follow.
So I just try to wing it.
and yes, I will complete the whole photo. I was just experimenting with the skin, because I've not found a technique that 'works' for me.

Because the face looks very natural (to me), I'd say you've been paying attention to your learning sources. Nicely done.
If you were to stop here (and I don't get the impression that's your intent), to me the very nicely retouched face looks a bit out of place compared to the rest of the image. It's like repainting a room... it's hard to stop with just one wall.

My technique
Does this look OK? I've not had much luck smoothing out skin textures, so last night I started experimenting with different techniques and this is what I came up with.

I've been working on a black and white stained and creased photo that my mum wants fixed.
I've done everything except for the face, whenever I clone from a good source (at 100%) it looks good, but as soon as I zoom out to a more normal view, I see that the face looks...-

by SMETZ99Hey all,
I have been going back to the photo restorations and manipulations to learn different techniques. One of which was to smooth out a models face (I think it was actually in the critique section) that had a skin condition.
I've been applying this to a great lot...-

by Canna WFinally plucking up the courage to post in this part of the forum!
I do a lot of low end retouching for a group at flickr, where people ask us to edit their photographs for them.
I recently found a series of tutorials that give me just the techniques I wanted for facial edits...-
