Hi All,
I run into this a lot at parties. Toward the end of the evening folks get a little shiny. Maybe it's hot in the venue, maybe they've had a few drinks or they've been dancing. Here's a Photoshop technique I've come up with that works pretty well for me. I'm sure there are others. I'd be interested in hearing about them.
enjoy,
Trish
HOW TO REVOVE SHINY FACE:
1. Clone out all unwanted blemishes. Don't worry too much about the small blemishes in the shiny areas.
2. CTL-J to make a new layer
3. Press ']' a bunch of times to increase your clone tool brush size
4. Sample a smooth skin place and brush away all the parts that shine. Even the nose. Don't worry that it looks fake.
5. Go ahead and get up close to the hair areas with a smaller clone brush if you need to. Don't worry too much about hitting the hair.
6. Set the opacity of this new layer to somewhere around 60%. Whatever looks natural.
note: I'll often leave the lips shiny, and above the eye if it's a woman wearing eyeshadow.
