Removing Shadow

[Emily]

Hi,

Was wondering if I could please get some assistance in lessening the shadow on his nose. Everything I do makes it look like a bruise.

SOOR attached,

Thanks muchly

Oh gosh, that's really brutal, isn't it?

Did you shoot raw?

[Emily]

Yes. This is with shadows bar as light as it will go

[Damien Symonds]

Do you mind sending me the raw file?

[Damien Symonds]

Alas, there's really no "normal" nose shape hidden in there, is there?

This will require some incredibly patient sculpting.  I mean that word "sculpting" quite literally.  This is almost the same as starting with a plain shapeless piece of stone and creating a nose out of it.
