Removing Eye Wrinkles With Photoshop

On this video tutorial Aaron Nace from Phlearn demonstrates how to remove wrinkles from eyes using Adobe Photoshop.

The first important tip when dealing with eye wrinkles – don’t remove them completely – this might sound strange but we all have some wrinkles and if you remove them completely the result will look unnatural so be careful.

So your main objective will be to reduce the amount of wrinkles around the eyes. Start with a new layer and use the healing brush tool to paint over a wrinkle (mark sample: current and below) from the healing brush tool options. Sample skin close to the wrinkle and paint over the wrinkle. Use a soft-edged brush about twice the size as the wrinkle and use fade from the edit menu and choose the right amount – not too much so it won’t go away completely.
