smoothing skin using photoshop

BEFORE!

AFTER!

Many models in magazines and in photographs on the internet are normally Photoshopped to make the celebrity look better, this means the image is very manipulating. Today i took it upon myself to do the same to an unknown model i found on the internet. This just shows that you can never trust an image unless you have taken it yourself.

To do this i inserted the original photo i found off the internet onto Photoshop, i then used the spot healing brush to get rid of all the freckles and spots. After i did that i then inserted a new layer and blurred out the image, and used the paint tool to get rid of the parts what were too blurry so it isn't as obvious it has been edited.
