Any chance you're going to do an updated one for Lightroom 2023? Seems like the effects/options have changed :/

Thank you, Brendan! This tutorial is appreciated so much as it taught me something new...the hidden brush effects. Thanks!

Thank you so much sir, you're the best🥹🤩

Thank you! So helpful. And your instruction is so easy to follow. What to do if you have a large file with skin acne? In this instance, the subjects portrait is not in the same setting (or has moved) so syncing adjustments would not match up. I shoot outdoors and children move around. Thank you again!

I am new to here and would love to learn more.

[CarmenVillacis-ezjk]

is there something I should be clicking for the changes to happen? I click on heal select the spot I want to remove and I get the other bubble but then what am I suppose to click for the spot to be removed? I've watched several videos, they all show you how to remove a spot but don't mention what to click for after you select what you want removed.

I have LR cc. I'm trying to smooth out new born baby feet (skin dry and cracky) On my version, rather than "Effects" it shows "Mask 1" and a "Preset" drop down where it than has "Smooth skin" listed. When I press on that, it somewhat works. However I am unable to brush over the skin myself for further touches. It also resets all of my sliders. Can anyone help with this?

[morespinach]

In Lightroom "Classic", you mean.

poop on a stick :-/ I was hoping there was a better way. removing 5k blackheads from dozens of photos is crazy time consuming...don't they have an A.I. plug in for this yet?
