Outstanding demonstration Sir. Although I have been using spot removal and brushes frequently, I totally overlooked using opacity to blend the correction better. And I was not aware that the Tool Overly could turn off the buttons allowing for a second pass to better blend the corrections. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey Anthony, don't know if you know, but you don't have to close and open the spot removal in order to be able to change the values. Just hit "Enter" and it will allow you to create a new spot removal point with different values. Great video!

[adamaj]

Good tip. I do this in Photoshop using the patch tool and the going to edit - > fade patch selection. This is a great way to diminish wrinkles, etc., also. I sometimes use frequency separation to correct just the color/bright areas too.

To temporarily disable the spot removal tool applications, you can also press H to hide/unhide them....

[darkreigncometh]

I have always done this in photoshop, but your method is so much easier. Thank you!

Very nice tutorial Anthony. I have always struggled a bit with cloning and healing in Lightroom. This was a very helpful video. Perhaps you would consider doing one for cloning, also in LR? There are lots of cloning tutorials for Photoshop but not many for LR. Thank you!

[balamina]

Thank you so much Anthony for the helpful tutorial! God bless you and good luck!

[articoli]

Nice. I think that most of use tend to default to clone, forgetting there is the heal option.

[callagan]

thanks man!!!your tutorials are always very helpfull.Tankyou for share i really apreciate it!!

[Valtrach]

Interesting technique, thank you for your time. I have to mention that this technique is not necessary if you have a make-up artist who knows his/her job. I did school photography with a make-up artist for 9 years and I never needed such a technique. Still, great job. Thank you.

[frankcich]

Thank you, Anthony. Appreciate your even and well explained approach in your tutorials.

[niftytwo]

G’day Anthony. I reckon that this tutorial is possibly up there with the hardest tutorial I’ve ever seen you publish. You did a real good job but it wasn’t easy Peasy. Beautiful Model. Great tutorial. Thank you. Neville J.

[TheOlandex]

[ladydsi]

I’m not sure but I actually like the dewy skin effect. It looks less flat

[ponymoore]

I carried out similar in PS, this looks more straightforward in a way. Must try iy. Great video, as always
