Photoshop Tutorial: Remove Moles On Face

Advertisement

This tutorial will show you how to remove mole on faces easily with the Photoshp Healing Brush Tool.

To begin, let’s take out the large mole above her eyebrow. Select the Healing Brush Tool, hold ALT and click in the middle of the forehead to set the source point, then paint over the mole. The result will look like simply cloning the forehead, until you release the mouse button and the tool does its magic.

You can continue to paint over each additional mole in turn with the Healing brush. No need to reset the source point; the middle of the forehead will be remembered and will be used for each new painting stoke.

The tool is so powerful that we can even take out the hole left by a missing earring. The color here is different and the ear is in shadow compared to the forehead, but the tool can still path the hole perfectly using the forehead skin tones as the source.

When we try to heal the mole on the side of the model’s face, however, we run into some difficulty. The tool works by blending the shades of the surrounding area; here, it’s reading the white background and blended with that.

To stop the Healing brush looking beyond the edge of the face, we need to tell it where to stop- by making a selection. The easiest way to make a rectangular selection, and use the Magic Wand to remove the white from it.

Now, when we use the Healing brush on that area, it will know not the blend with any colors outside the selected area; and so it removes the mole on the side of the face perfectly.
