You know what I mean, I did some portraits yesterday in the blazing heat here, and the fill flash reflected some pretty nasty sweaty foreheads.
What would be the best way to try and fix this in post? Clone or heal tool?

Thanks

In black and white it's hardly noticeable.

I would try using the heal tool first, sampling from different areas so that you don't get a pattern that's too uniform. This should take away the shine, then maybe use a small amount of clone tool ovet the top to add in some more contrast. In the future, I always carry a small pad and loose powder to take down any shine beore hand. Different types of skin start to shine at different temperatures and even studio lighting brings it out sometimes, so it's always handy to have a bit in your kit for emergencies. Hope this is of some help. Lovely composition and nice relaxed models, Well done, chell

Yeah, a cleenex first and then some powder should take care of that, especially if you're shooting black and white, where the shades don't matter.
