Dark Circles under Eyes

admin Wrote:Removing large dark areas like that can be tricky.   The touchup brush is a good approach, however, the key to getting the best results is to make sure your brush strokes only cover the pixels you want to fix, and nothing else.   Other than that, the relight slider in the skin lighting controls is probably your best bet. We are thinking of adding an eyebag slider in the future.  I take it you would be interested in that?

Also, I hope you don't mind unsolicited advice, but in this picture, you've got the focus on the blue hoodie just behind your subject, which means your subject is out of focus.

Thanks Tony. I'd definitely like an eyebag slider or a "lightening" touch up brush. You're definitely right on the slightly missed focus. I'm off by about an inch! Any advice for getting focus dead on. It's sometimes hard to even see this in the viewfinder when manual focusing and autofocus, even in spot metering mode, can not always deliver perfect results.
