The brief

Subtle refinement for a personal photo — the kind of edit nobody should be able to spot.

The craft

Breakouts and redness were reduced while pores, freckles and natural texture were kept. Skin tone was evened out and color balanced across the frame.

The result

It looks like a good day, not a filter.

The same close portrait with breakouts and redness around the mouth and chin.
