Hi,

Can someone please let me know if PS has some tool we can remove shadows on face (see attached photo).

I tried Clone Stamp Tool but it's still not very easy to remove the shadow especially the shadow on lips.

Thanks & regards,

Frequency separation might work, but you would need to be good at brushing in tones. I did it on some portraits to soften the harsh light, but your image would be more challenging.

I don't think this can be repaired. There's not enough detail to work with under those harsh, dark shadows.

It's certainly very difficult to repair it to get ideal result. I have tried several methods.

Thanks & regards.

Hi,

Using Shadows/Highlights could help:

Thank you. Shadows/Highlights adjustment will be applied to the entire image, or we can apply it to only shadow area somehow?

Hi,

In the above example I used it on the whole image, but you could use a Layer Mak to apply it just to the shadow area if that works best for you.

Below are some link may help you with Layer Masks:

Also search for Layer Mask tutorials on sites like Youtube.

thanks,

Use the dodge tool. I found my mother's smile today under a nasty nose shadow in a photo taken in 1967. It takes a while, but you will be astonished at the amount of detail you will discover. Using it is kind of like when an archaeologist releases a fossil from its rock using just a toothpick.
