Photoshop: What is the best tool to remove shiny/oily face?

Question

Any way to make the oily spots look... less oily?

Answer 1

Sounds like you want to remove hot spots

Open the photo

Copy the background layer

Select the copy layer for your work

Press ctr Z and zoom in on the hotspot ( shiney area

Select the clone stamp tool and set opacity to 50%

choose a medium soft edeged brush

hold the alt key and click once on a nearby area that is not shiney

using the clone stamp gently cover the affected area

when you work on other hot spot areas rememver to resample so the skin tones and lighting match closely to that are

save under a different file name

Answer 2

Either 1: Use the healing brush

Or 2: Choose the eyedropper, pick an area of the skin that looks normal, then choose the paint brush and paint on the color using a low opacity (somewhere between 20 to 40% usually works for me)

One thing to remember during photoshoots is to always bring translucent powder for shiny areas of the face.

Answer 3

The best tool would be Photoshop healing brush

Answer 4

I use clone stamp tool

Answer 5

well to avoid having to photoshop later (which is what a "real" photographer does) always use concealer. don't always rely on photoshop. a photographer paints with light not graphics. use concealer and face powder.

Answer 6

Pro-Active-Solution tool :P

Answer 7

I have Corel Photo Pro XI and I use the blemish remover tool. I don't know if this would be available on whatever photoshop you use, but anything similar should work!

Hope I helped!

Answer 8

Before shooting... a light dusting of powder (good to have some makeup skills as a photog).

After shooting (I can only offer a PS answer)...

I use the patch tool...

First, only work on a copy of the original photo (don't work on your original photo).

Now that you have a copy...

Start by duplicating the background layer.

Select your patch tool (it works very much like the healing brush).

With the patch tool selected, you will see some options at the top of the screen (source  and  destination)...  Select "destination"

The patch tool acts kinda like a selection tool. Click and drag it around the shiny spot. Now that the spot is selected, click into the center of the shiny spot and drag it to a location that has better skin tones.  As you drag, you will see the shiny spot changing... when it looks like you want it, release the click (stop dragging).  The selection will then blend - just like the healing brush...

Hope that helps.

Answer 9

I would try taking glare away but only on that spot (using your channels?) So you would basically want to replace the white or the light areas with whatever the skin tone is on places where there is no glare.

Answer 10

sometimes you just have to re-shoot with better lighting and planing.

Answer 11

Blemish remover, and possibly curves to make it slightly darker.
