Miss Sally

You got it Thanks for your help and suggestion. Have a good night

L O L thank you but that's something I chose to disagree with. I think over processed photos are worse than a little noise.

and to clarify.....full fledged noise isn't acceptable in my eyes, but a reduction in noise doesn't bother me. Thanks again,

Thank you. I edit in a different manner. Coming from a film background, grain (or noise in digital speak) doesn't bother me. I tried following your directions for full noise "removal" and I was really uncomfortable with how processed and plastic the effect was. I thank you for your time and trying to help. I've figured it out for the most part. Thank you.

I bumped up the luminosity to reduce the noise (was shooting at a high ISO) but i did that in RAW...so yes, SOOR...lol

wait...that explains it....i uploaded the first one....not once but twice! lol 86 that last upload...here's the correct one:

Hi There, I have a mom who suffers from a condition that causes unsightly facial hair. She treats the hair for removal but it causes a severe case of folliculitis. I've read that the dust and scratches filter can help with severe baby acne. I'm wondering what settings you would suggest for this level of editing OR if you could suggest something better. I have tried doing it by hand but the area on the edge is impossible to address. Thanks for any help.
