How to Remove Blemishes in Portraits Using Photoshop CS2

Make a beautiful but flawed portrait perfect by removing tiny flaws such as blemishes. This can be done easily using Photoshop CS2. With a little practice, this can be as easy as "click and drag."

Instructions

Open the image using Photoshop CS2 and select the Spot Healing Brush tool. This option is ideal for fixing small areas.

Select the diameter and hardness for the brush by choosing the Brush Preset picker under Options. Use different sizes when retouching various places in a photo. Pick a large diameter for bigger fixes and a small diameter for small details. Select a brush that is a little larger than the area being fixed.

Change the Blend Mode if necessary. Normal mode is usually the best option.

Choose between Proximity Match and Create Texture in the Options bar. Proximity Match uses the pixels closest to the blemished area to fill in the area being fixed. Create Texture uses all the pixels in the selected area to fill in the flaw. Try one, and if it does not work, click "Undo," and try the other.

Click "Save." Repeat the steps for multiple blemishes in the portrait.

Close and save the file when all of the flaws have been removed.
