Using the red eye tool

Using the red eye removal command

I used the blemish removal tool on the stain on the shirt and some of the blemishes, the scratch removal tool on wrinkles around the mouths, and the object removal tool around the eyebrows. I used the warp tool on the neck of the lady on the left, but, although I like the overall effect, I kept overdoing it so that it didn't look as natural as I would have liked. This version was the best one I did, but if I were printing this to give to them, I would redo that area. I also used the warp tool on the corners of her mouth to lift them a little. I used the clone tool several times on various small areas. I used the soften tool on areas that I had cloned and then, with low settings, over all the skin. I tried using the toothbrush tool, but did not like the effect. So I selected the teeth and small pinpoints for the white of the eyes, copied and pasted to new layers. Then I could lighten each new layer and adjust the opacity to get the effect I wanted.
