Double chin fix

[ituck]

I'd like to make this look better somehow, but I'm pretty clueless. Any advice is much appreciated?

Hopefully this will work to reduce that problematic band of shadow.

Thanks! I'm not sure what the dodge/burn needs to be like for a realistic fix, but this is where I'm at. Haven't done the colour yet... seems patchy at the moment and I can't work out which lines to keep for a realistic chin 'transition'.

Thoughts?

Oh, I think only that main band of shadow.

Like this.

Thanks! That looks so much better than my attempt.

I painted on the D&B layer with a 3% opacity brush.  Anything higher than that will be too brutal, I think.

I used a 10% brush for the colour fix layer.
