Welcome to Part III of the Professional Photoshop Retouching Series on SLR Lounge. It is time to get to retouching!

In this Photoshop video tutorial, we are going to begin removing unwanted detail from our photo. We will be using the healing brush presets that we setup in the previous tutorial, so be sure to watch the previous videos so you can achieve the same results.

Keep in mind that in this tutorial we are removing unwanted detail. There are certain types of details such as eye lines and smile lines that you want to diminish, not remove. We will cover how to diminish lines in a future tutorial. Enjoy!

    why don't use the spot healing brush on a transparent layer, instead of a copied layer?
    with a transparent layer you will be able to fade the adjustment, and if you want to remove some adjustement you don't like you can simply delete them with the eraser.
