Freckle removal

Original http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1006&message=7419435

Objective was not to make her skin look like plastic after removal. Hence, subdued, did not totally remove

1. NI (noise reduced only on Y channel - profile set to freckles as noise)
2. Pasted with low opacity on original image
3. exposed more of NIed image on hands - since freckles were much more there
4. sharpened her eyes/lips/nose a tad bit
5. stepped up saturation a bit


other sizes: small medium original auto

I'm indifferent. It was removed because the original poster asked it to be removed :)

While you did a pretty good job on the removal, she looks much better with them. But maybe I'm biased, who knows...I just love freckles.
