This document provides instructions for editing a photo of a woman's face in Photoshop. The editor duplicates the image layer to remove spots with the spot tool. Gaussian blur is added to highlight details, and the eraser tool is used to outline features. Layers are merged to compare the original and edited photos side by side, with text labeling the before and after shots.

2. This is the original image we
had to edit, to take away the
spots and or blemishes the
woman had on her face.
I duplicated this layer to
create another layer so I
can edit the spots out with
the spot tool.

3. I put this image into Photoshop and edited it
with these certain tools.
Before using this tool the picture looked
like this with lots of spots.
In this picture you can see that all the
spots that I have circled are gone.

4. After I had removed the spots I duplicated
that layer and I know have 3, on the top
layer I click Gaussian Blur
I am presented with a box that looks like
this and I set it to a radius of 3.0 pixels.
This will help me show the
detail in her face and make
her face stand out a lot
more because I will be
outlining the detail with this
effect.

5. I use the eraser tool to
outline some detail on
her face, this is an
example
This is before I edited the woman's face
with the eraser tool on the Gaussian blur
This is the final product of what I have
produced, this shows how much
anyone would look with a little but of
Photoshop work

6. I now have to merge the first two
layers and I do that by right clicking the
top layer and clicking merge down.
I now have two layers in my
Photoshop document. I will put
these side by side to show an after
and before shot of each to show my
progress.
After clicking reveal all I see a side by
side comparison of the original and
edited version.
The last thing I will do is add text stating
which image has the before shot and
which image has the after shot. I will be
using the text tool for this.

7. The final product now looks like this…
