I have an available light portrait where the sun reflects off the subjects forehead. I tried the Adj brush in ACR. I also tried to 'burn' it in by saving the raw file as a tif and creating a new 'soft light' layer & burning it in with a 15% opacity brush. It's reasonable, I have some tone in the forehead but I'd prefer more. I suspect that there must be another way to do this as pro retouchers would do and am hoping to get some instruction here. I'll upload a jpeg from the raw (2000px) & please let me know if a bigger or different file format would be preferable. Thanks in anticipation. _DSF4158.jpg

image_96873.jpg I used the clone stamp on a blank layer (Photoshop). Also some other tweaks for color temp, shadow details, etc.

Normal blend mode?
and then ....?
Clone from another part of the forehead around the hotspot?
More step-by-step details if possible please
EDIT: If the cloned area looks too smooth, you can open a second blank layer and use the healing brush to restore texture, sampling from an area of skin that has more texture. That would go right on top of the cloning, but on its own layer.

& for the Layer - Normal & 100%
Keyboard shortcut for clone stamp: Hold Shift and hit the [ key to soften, ] key to harden. That jumps 25% each click.
