Hot spots can be quite frustrating, as they can be a significant distraction on an otherwise compelling photo and are not particularly easy to remove. It is not impossible to get rid of them, though. This awesome video tutorial will show you everything you need to know to even out those hot spots using Photoshop.
Coming to you from Kayleigh June, this helpful video tutorial will show you how to remove hot spots on a subject's face using Photoshop. The problem with hot spots is that because they often contain blown highlights, it can be difficult to work on them without complete data present. To get around this, June uses frequency separation. Frequency separation can be a bit controversial, as it is a very powerful tool that can easily be misused, but when used correctly, it is a very effective way to correct issues like this. The technique works by separating texture from color. You can then paint in color from nearby skin with even out the hot spots. In fact, it is a technique you can use to fix hot spots on many different types of images, not just those of people. Check out the video above for the full rundown from June.
