Hi Damien I am trying to use the dust and scratches filter to clean up a baby’s mucky nose and remove blemishes on the chin. Every time I try I end up blurring the rest of the face, hair ears jawline. I’m following the steps according to your instructions but just can’t get the desired effect. Am I supposed to be inverting the mask? Or do I make a selection first?

Once you have run the filter, immediately add a black mask to the layer to hide it all, then paint white to reveal just the areas you want.

Thanks I’ll give it another try today

Hi Damien

Same photo, is there an easy way to clean up the floor. Footprints, bits of cake etc need to remove. Thanks

Hmmm ... maybe D&S would work for that too?
