One of the common problems that many have probably encountered is the oily sheen of the skin on the face of a person who does not paint a photo. This often happens because the flash of the camera produces overexposure and shine on the skin, due to which the skin visually looks oily. What can you do then to eliminate unnecessary shine?
Instructions
Step 1
Open the desired photo in the Photoshop program. For clarity, a photo of a female boxer after training will be used here as an example of removing skin shine.
Step 2
Select the Eye Dropper Tool from the Toolbox and click next to the shiny area to choose a color for that shiny spot.
Step 3
Switch to the Brush Tool and set the settings for it: soft brush, set the diameter depending on the size of the shiny or bold spot, set the opacity to 15-20%.
Step 4
Also set the Blending Mode to Darken in the Brush toolbar.
Step 5
Now with this brush, start painting over the white spots on the skin. At the same time, from time to time you need to change the size of the brush, as well as its color using the eyedropper.
Step 6
So far in this photo there are still some light areas on the face, shoulders and arms. Then you can continue in the same way, but you can also apply another way to get rid of light spots - using the Patch Tool (Patch Tool).
Step 7
Select the Patch Tool from the Toolbox.
Step 8
Select the shine in the area of the skin with a patch and move this selection to the area you want to replace the shine with.
Step 9
Release the mouse button and deselect the selection using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + D.
Step 10
Result: there are no glare, overexposure and shiny areas in the photo.
Step 11
You can also use other tools - "Healing Brush" and "Stamp" (Clone Stamp Tool), or remove glare using the command "Gaussian Blur" (Gaussian Blur).
