Smoothy

First use of the healing brush tool in photoshop, I used a rather wrinkly picture of Ian McKellen and made him into a smooth criminal! Here are the before and after pictures.

You will notice that there are pronounced wrinkles on Ian's forehead, under his eyes and around his mouth.
I have used the healing tool by sampling areas around the wrinkle and smoothed them out. Each wrinkle sampled a different area parallel to the wrinkle and was then used to make the wrinkly disappear. Here is the resulting, more youthful looking Ian.

His forehead is a lot smoother, and so is the area under his eyes.  I used the lighten setting on the shadowy side of his face as the wrinkles became a lot darker and more pronounced using the 'normal' setting. Using the 'Lighten' setting helped me to blend the more pronounced shadowy lines.
