    Thanks so much for this tutorial. I used all three techniques on some portraits and it worked wonderfully. Adjusting the opacity was a great tip! I've enjoyed all your tutorials. You are truly talented and great teacher, Unmesh!!

    Holy wow thank you so much! I’ve not edited so many photos because of harsh hot spots I’m sure sure how to fix. Can’t wait to try this!

    Absolutely brilliant! Thank you very much

  4. Paula Ares says

    Help! I can´t find my healing brush tool! How do I look for it?

  5. Jānis Strazdiņš says

    Very nice…thanks!…about forgetting to Fade patching…that's why it's always good idea to make that on new layer – you can just use mask instead of Fade anytime you want

  6. Tinderbox says

    How hot is it in that studio?

  7. Camera Raw Filter as good for remove highlights. Apply to layer copy and draw a mask.

    I use the Selective Color and reduce the Whites.

  17. Jeffrey Spinner says

    Why not use a set of hi/low frequency layers and work on the fuzzy color layer (lo freq) layer only? And/or using your method to remove shadows just with highilghts? And/or stacking those methods? Gonna experiment today…what do ppl think?
