Remove facial blemishes from photos

Open the photo in Detail   view, and then select the Remove   panel.

In the Distraction Removal section, expand the Blemishes   panel, and then select Apply. Lightroom detects blemishes and natural marks on the faces in the photo and applies the removal.

In the Blemishes   panel, drag the following sliders to adjust the result:

• Blemishes: Removes temporary blemishes such as acne and sores. A higher value of 100 removes all detected blemishes, and a lower value only removes prominent blemishes.
• Natural Marks: Adjusts the visibility of permanent marks, such as moles and freckles. The default value of 50 partially fades all permanent marks. You can drag the slider to 100 to fade the marks further. 

If your photo has multiple people, select the specific face you want to edit, or select All People to apply the same adjustments to all the detected faces in the photo.

To restore the original skin details, select the reset    icon.

In the Blemishes   panel, select Refine, and then use the Size slider to adjust the brush size.

Select one of the following options and brush over the area you want to refine:

• Restore: Restores the original detail. Use this option to restore details you want to retain, such as a beauty mark or a freckle.
• Remove: Removes a blemish, mole, or mark that wasn't detected automatically.
  

To adjust the color and opacity of the brush overlay for better visibility, select Overlay Color icon.

To clear all the refinements made to the photo, select Clear.

Once you have the changes you want, select Apply.
