The best way I have found is to just use the clone tool at 25-50% opacity. Just work really slowly, using different sizes of brushes depending on the size. Also taking a little from the light and a little from the dark right on the edge. If you do a spot and it doesn't look right just back up and try again. I feels kind of like painting to me (like actual paining on canvas)but just using the clone tool as your brush.
I sometimes have luck with the healing brush tool. Use it like the clone tool where you select an area. It sort of does the blending for you and I don't always like the results. Healing brush is great for somethings, like pimples and uneven skin tone, but it has its limits with blending. |
