Tutorial: quick photo fix

So, anyone who has been reading my blog for more than a minute knows that sometimes – I am an idiot.  Ok, probably more like MOST TIMES, but still…

Anyway, yesterday was filming day for my youtubes and as such I put on meh face, did up meh fro, and went to shoot my vids for the week.  When I did my last double check in the mirror before shooting, I noticed my face was a lil on the sweaty so I dabbed it with some toilet paper and went and filmed. 

After filming, I came down to the dungeon to edit my shots for the day and look what I saw on my face!

Toilet paper!  OMG!  I had to clean my face off and RE-FILM all of my videos!   This was so funny, and being one who loves to laugh at themself I had to post it on facebook.  

The stills from the day were easy enough to touch up, without having to reshoot them, so my thumbnail for my video ended up being this…

As you can see, the toilet paper is gone.

A couple of folks asked how I fixed the pic so I am going to tell you how to go from this…

Photo Retouch Tutorial

 

You can use the same technique to remove blemishes, scars, etc.  I used Paint Shop Pro X4, but you can also do this in Photoshop.

Good luck!
