Thank you. In this case I would use the clone stamp to cover the veins, followed by the healing brush to restore texture. I also lightly applied Imagenomic Portraiture to smooth out the rough spots a little. Also (obviously) adjusted color and brightness.

yes. you must be psychic.

I use essentially the same method as Peano, but he is much better at describing (and EXECUTING) it than I am.

For female portraits like this, I'll often use Imagenomic Portraiture, with settings specific to the task, and selectively painted on an adjustment layer with low opacity.
