I’m Kinda of Embarrassed To Share This Photoshop Tip For Reducing Shiny Hotspots

The reason I’m embarrassed is – this Photoshop portrait retouching tip for quickly reducing shiny hot spots on your subject’s face, was sent to me by John Weigley, a reader of my books – but it’s not the fact that he sent me the tip (I absolutely love it when readers send me cool tips. In fact, I shared another one from a reader today over at LightroomKillerTips), but what I’m embarrassed about is that I just found his message this weekend. That doesn’t sound all that bad, until you realize he sent it to me in 2004. Ack!

So, before I go into the video (below), I owe John a very, very belated thanks for sharing this tip with me, so I could share it today (some 12 years later) with you.

Hope you find that helpful (and thanks again to John for sharing the tip in the first place).

Best,

-Scott

  1. I have yet to actually try this, but it looks to be VERY helpful to me as I work in Africa and their skin is incredibly shiny, like they have nano sized LED’s embedded in the very pores of their skin shining right into my lens.
