Gil i'm not familiar with the Hairbrush, what is that for exactly?

Ok, I did the healing brush tool...

After:

Does it look better?

I could not find Hairbrush or NI5.0 under my photoshop help.

looks like you got a little too close to the white and it make a mark on her... you know...

NI5.0 is probably neat image which is not included in photoshop.

I know. Any advice on how to avoid that? Maybe the stamp tool. Let me try it.

It looks really bad above where they were...like smeared or smudged. I like the stretch marks to be honest.

I think they meant "airbrush", which I wouldn't use. The reference to NI 5.0 is "NeatImage 5.0", which is an extra-cost plug-in or separate program, which I also would not use here.
Looks like you did a very good job with the healing brush, the results are a big improvement.

I don't mind the stretch marks either, but she wants them out and she is paying me!

The stamp tool is not working for me. I will attempt to do another healing tool edit on it. I think the lighter part is because of the flash hitting her there and not so much the underwear.

I often just zoom in about 1200% and do small increment 20-25% cloning, constantly clicking a new source area and keep working with it.

Your's looks great! Did you just use the healing tool? I think I may have fixed the light part. What do you think?

That's a good idea. I did that for the white part at the top as well as darkening it a little and upping the saturation just a wee bit.

I ran it through Neat Image and cloned some areas on the left cheek that were a bit darker (near the white panty edge). (Nice butt, btw)

It definitely changes the skin texture - just depends on your preference on the look you want. It did help disguise or minimize the stretch marks.

I only used the healing tool... 200-400% magnification. I used a point off to the left and then healed downward in very small sections. cntr + z is your friend if it doesn't look good. Do it right away if it messes up!

Yeah, wish my butt looked that good! Is Neat Image another kind of program?

I like your version better. I think I'll go back and try again.

Yes it is. Easy to find on google. It tends to make skin look like plastic and is often overused. I generally don't like the results from it except when you want to give a dreamlike feel to a scene.

You can find Neat Image here: Neat Image - Noise Reduction Tool. Can be stand alone or plug-in. I only use the free demo version currently. I like what it does most times. Some people here don't care for it - sometimes you can tell it's been overdone. Give it a shot.
