Senior Portrait
STEP 11: Select the Spot Healing Brush tool from the Toolbox by pressing the J key. Make sure that the ContentAware radio button and Sample All Layers checkbox are both turned on in the Options Bar.
STEP 12: Zoom in on the face to get a closer look. The Spot Healing Brush is pretty simple to use, especially when you turn on the ContentAware option, like we just did. There’s no sampling involved, just position your cursor over a blemish. Use the Left or Right Bracket key to resize the brush to something just a bit larger than the blemish. Then, click to paint over the blemish, and it’ll disappear. Use the same process to remove any tiny spots on his arms and face. Okay, we’re done with the prep work for the portrait, so save it as a PSD file and move on to the composite.
