[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 632423, member: 13090"] The nose is not too bad, that will be the easy part; the shadow under her eye, though, would be tough as nails (at least for me) to correct. There's a technique called "frequency separation" that might work for this for this if you want to Google that and give it a go. I've used it a few times but in my experience FS works best when you have proper exposure to begin with. The issue with this shot is that you're going to have to deal with not only the with color but also the underlying texture if you want it look right. I could correct the color easily enough using the Healing Brush Tool, alternating the the mode between Lighten and Color, and maybe use the Clone Stamp a little, but skin retouching is [I]hard[/I] and I don't think my skill's are up to this particular task. I'll play with it, though, and see what I can do.
