Options

Watch out for

  • The effect may remove too much detail if applied globally without a mask

Tips

  • Use masks to avoid affecting natural markings or areas that don't need correction
  • Avoid making the effect too strong to ensure the skin still looks natural rather than 'absolutely flawless'
  • Use this tool to neaten up blemishes for professional model shoots or short films while keeping some skin texture for realism

Highlights
