Description

Posting this now so I will quit tweaking and going crazy trying to get this perfect. First turned to BW. Then used the amazing magic of Topaz Clean 3 - Skin Even. That fixed much of the texture,dirt, marks and other small imperfections. Followed with Spot Healing to remove more of them. WAY too many steps beyond that to run down. I had the biggest issue with the skin taking the color unevenly/differently on the extreme shadows vs. lighted areas. Used clone stamp, healing brush, smudge, sepia filter, hue/saturation, selective color and I don't know what else. It still has some issues I don't like but, Uncle! I particularly don't like the gray that remains in shadow areas.
