Walt - have you upgraded to LR5 yet? The new Advanced Healing Brush let's you do large areas. I haven't tried to remove tan lines, so I don't know how well that would work, In a recent portrait there were several stray hairs across a young ladies forehead. I used the brush to trace along the hairs and they were made easily made invisible.
The brush is adjustable in width so I think it would be worth a try. If you're a NAPP member take a look at the training on the web site. Kelby posted a "Portrait Retouching with LR5" class a few days ago. It's a bit over an hour long and he does a complete retouch. Never needs to go to Photoshop and It's a lot faster. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com > > On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 9:41 PM, Walt <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> The young lady who posed for me today has spent a good amount of time in the >> pool this spring and summer.
