tropicmom Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 With a portrait of an older woman who has very fine lines around the eyes, I duplicated the background layer, applied a D&S filter fairly strong, inverted a mask and painted it back only in the problem areas, then pulled the opacity of the layer down until it toned the wrinkles down just slightly. My question: Is there a disadvantage to using this method I should be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No, it sounds like an excellent approach to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Make sure, though, that you only apply the filter just as strongly as you need, and no stronger. Applying the filter at the correct amount at 100% opacity gives different (and better) results than applying it overly strong at lower opacity.
