TIPS
Did You Know?
If you use many small strokes rather than one larger
one and change the size and angle of the brush
according to the area of the wrinkle, the skin tones
match more closely, and the results appear more
natural.
More Options!
You can create a special wrinkle-removing brush by
changing attributes in the Brush picker in the Options
bar and saving your wrinkle remover as a brush preset
in the Brush picker.
Try This!
You need to zoom in and out often when removing
wrinkles. Instead of changing tools when the Spot
Healing Brush is selected, press Ô+spacebar
(Ctrl+spacebar) and click to zoom in. Press
Option+spacebar (Alt+spacebar) to zoom out. On a
Mac, unless you have previously changed the default
keystrokes for the Spotlight feature to something like
Ô+Control+spacebar, the Spotlight momentarily
opens with the same keystrokes as those for zooming
in (Ô+spacebar). Either way, using Ô+spacebar in
Photoshop still zooms in.
