Have you ever wished you could have perfect skin? Have you ever wished you could get rid of all the acne and pimples and blemishes and scars on your face? Now you can!

Well, at least in your photographs.

Do you have a near-perfect portrait of yourself, that is embellished by a pimple? Don’t you just hate when that happens? In this tutorial, I will show you how to get rid of all the unflattering marks on your face using Adobe Photoshop mostly by just using two tools. Yes, just two! You will be surprised at how easy it is to do it! So, let’s get started.

Step 1:

I’ll be using this photograph below as an example. You, you can dig up a photograph of yourself to try. Come on now, don’t be shy. Bring the photograph in to Photoshop, preferably using the biggest resolution version of that photograph that you have.

At this point, I would colour-correct the photograph first before continuing with the editing. Not sure how to? Feel free to read my tutorial on how to colour-correct your photos first. Don’t worry, we’ll wait.

Step 2:

Have you ever wondered how Mr Malique creates his clones? Well, I’m here to teach you how to clone yourself just like Mr Malique does it!

Yeap, for my maiden post on this blog, I’m gonna do an in-depth tutorial on how to create your own clones, using Adobe Photoshop.

Here’s a list of tools you will need to be able to do this tutorial along with me.

1. A digital camera. You got a spankin’ brand new DSLR like Yanni’s Nikon D80? Great! You got a point-and-shoot consumer camera? No problem too! What? You want to use a film camera? Erm… Possible… But will be more than doubly troublesome. Let’s keep things simple and I shall assume you own/can borrow a digital camera.
2. A tripod. A must. Okay, not exactly a must, but it will make things so much easier. Easy is the keyword in this tutorial, okay?
3. Adobe Photoshop. Any version will do, as long as it supports layer masking. I’m not familiar with other programs, but if the graphics program you’re using allows you to mess around with layer masking, you’d probably be able to adapt the steps here to fit that program.I shall be using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended.
4. Of course, you will need a computer. I shall assume you have access to one since you’re reading this entry. Mac or PC, whatever your choice may be, it will suffice. Personally I use a PC.
