Lightroom Spot Removal Tool For Portraits

On this video photographer Adam Lerner takes a look at working with the spot removal tool in Lightroom for retouching a portrait.

Lerner use the spot removal to make a portrait look just a little bit better especially the brightness part of the forehead.

We typically look at the spot removal tool in Photoshop (and indeed this particular case seems like something that maybe needed some Photoshop loving), however the spot removal in Lightroom actually works (although in a pretty different way). We did look at spot removal in Lightroom as well in a Lynda video entitled “Spot removal – Clone vs. Heal“.
