Digital Grin > Here you can see an animation of the original and the final result of the History Brush. Also note that if you were to set the Bur to a higher radius in the first step, you could rid the photo of larger blemishes as well. You can also use it to reduce wrinkles. It won't really get rid of them, but it will lighten them nicely. This same technique was used to Restore a 1970's Photo.
Digital Grin > Set the Mode for the History Brush Tool to Lighten. This will paint the blurry history state that we marked above only when it will lighten the image. Paint any areas that you want to reduce the pores. It will only remove those that are darker than the surrounding skin. (NOTE: if the features that you want to remove are lighter than the surrounding area, then choose Darken.)
Digital Grin > Next, select the History Brush Tool in your Tool Palette.
Digital Grin > Your History Palette won't look just like this, but the important thing is that your last History State will be the Gaussian Blur, which you just applied in the step above. Select the previous layer (blue in this example), and click the box to the left of Guassian Blur, which will place the History Brush icon in that box. This means that when you paint with the history brush, it will be painting NOT with color, but with that History state. Confusing, mabye, but you'll see how it works in a minute.
Digital Grin > The first step is to add just enough Gaussian Blur to the image so that the features that you are trying to remove are not visible. Don't worry that your image is blurry, we'll take care of that in a moment. Click OK.
Digital Grin > By David Rosenthal. Sometimes it's desirable to remove pores and other complexion features. We're going to go through one method of reducing the pores in skin. This is a 100% crop of a larger picture, and we'll be working with this portion throughout the tutorial.
Digital Grin > Here's a 100% crop showing the problem we face. Any way you cut it, you're going to lose a little detail in the shot, but we can get rid of the texture pretty successfully.
Digital Grin > And set the History Brush Tool mode to Darken. This is up in your Options Palette.
Digital Grin > After you get that set, go to the History Palette, and select the layer just above the Blur state (in blue in this screen capture), then select the box to the left of the Blur. This sets the History Brush. In other words, it sets which history state the brush will paint with. The History Brush paints History States. The History Brush is the paint brush with the arrow.
