B09-04 Skill: Use the healing tools to soften skin wrinkles and remove blemishes

Objectives:
  • Learn how to heal skin wrinkles and blemishes realistically in Photoshop
Learn and Apply: Exercise B09-04
The 2021 release of Photoshop CC now includes Neural Filters in the Filter menu. One of those is skin smoothing. So now you can do skin and wrinkle healing in one click. It's pretty amazing. The filter won't remove blemishes. So, please do watch the video tutorials in this section, because it will show you another way of doing this when the Neural Filters don't quite do the job the way you want it to.
