Here\u2019s how to get a more realistic wrinkle removal.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps For Removing Wrinkles In Photoshop<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Open the photo that needs some wrinkles or crow\u2019s-feet lessened or removed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-1.jpg\" alt=\"removing wrinkles in photoshop\" width=\"432\" height=\"359\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Step Two:<\/p>\n<p>Duplicate the Background layer by going to the Layer menu, under New, and choosing Layer via Copy (or press Control-J). You\u2019ll perform your \u201cwrinkle removal\u201d on this duplicate layer, named \u201cLayer 1\u201d in the Layers palette.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"319\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get the Healing Brush tool from the Toolbox (or press the J key). Then, choose a soft-edged brush from the Brush Picker (which opens when you click the Brush Preset icon in the Options Bar). Choose a brush size that\u2019s close to the size of the wrinkles you want to remove.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-3_.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Four:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find a clean area that\u2019s somewhere near the wrinkles (perhaps the upper cheek if you\u2019re removing crow\u2019s-feet, or if you\u2019re removing forehead wrinkles, perhaps just above or below the wrinkle). Hold the Alt key and click once to sample the texture of the skin from that area.<\/p>\n<p>Now, take the Healing Brush tool and paint over the wrinkles. As you paint, the wrinkles will disappear, yet the texture and detail of the skin remains intact, which is why this tool is so amazing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"356\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-4a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"357\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Five:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that the wrinkles are gone, it\u2019s time to bring just enough of them back to make it look realistic. Simply go to the Layers palette and reduce the Opacity of this layer to bring back some of the original wrinkles. This lets a small amount of the original photo (the Background layer, with all its wrinkles still intact) show through.<\/p>\n<p>Keep lowering the Opacity until you see the wrinkles, but not nearly as prominent as before.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"358\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-5a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"297\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-Before.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"352\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/march2005\/Wrinkles-After.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"339\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0removing wrinkles in photoshop<\/p>\n<p>Hope you enjoyed this tutorial on <strong>removing wrinkles in photoshop<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>By Scott Kelby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This is a great trick for removing wrinkles in photoshop\u00a0with a little twist at the end (courtesy of my buddy Kevin Ames) that helps make the technique look more realistic. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/removing-or-lessening-wrinkles-with-photoshop-elements\/\" title=\"Guide To Removing Wrinkles In Photoshop\">[read more]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[22,275],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Guide To Removing Wrinkles In Photoshop - Apogee Photo Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apogeephoto.com\/removing-or-lessening-wrinkles-with-photoshop-elements\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Guide To Removing Wrinkles In Photoshop - Apogee Photo Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This is a great trick for removing wrinkles in photoshop\u00a0with a little twist at the end (courtesy of my buddy Kevin Ames) that helps make the technique look more realistic.
