I shot a HS senior and well, it's summer and we were outdoors - she, umm, perspired (only men sweat, right?)
Anyway, she's picked her pics and has asked that 'the shine be reduced' - I tried a bit when i did the proofs without much success - so here is a sample shot - how do i do it?

I often use a brush with the skin tone and smth like 15-20 percent opacity to get rid of the shining!

She didn't pick this one?
JMO of course - and I'm certainly not anywhere close to being a PP guru. ;^)
edit to remove PP suggestion that confirms my 'not a guru' comment. ;^) ...now Rikki and Scalvert on the other hand...

I will assume you are using PS. Here are the steps and follow closely:
Step 1:
Open your photograph that has hot spots that need to be toned down.
Step 2:
Using the clone stamp tool, in the options Bar, change the Mode from Normal to Darken and lower the oopacity to 50%. Changing the mode to darken only affects the pixels that are lighter.
Step 3:
Choose a large soft edge brush. Press and hold Alt and click once in a clean area of skin (no hot spots but close to where the original hot spots are).
Step 4:
Start by gently painting over the hot spots with the Clone Tool. If you have to rework in several different hot spots, remember to resample areas once again.
That's it :) As always, save your original file.
Cheers,
Rikki

I'd go with a 20% opacity healing brush. A brush or clone tool with give you blurry areas around the edge of your work, but the healing brush will retain any skin texture.

Yeah, this is the way I do it too except I do all the clone work on a duplicate layer in case I goof up royally...works great :) |

I do that or use the healing brush (not spot healing brush) at about 50%
