Remove a Tan Line

July 25th, 2009

In this Photoshop tutorial we’re going to remove a tan line on someone’s skin.
Some people advice to correct an image like this in Photoshop with the clone or healing brush tool, but there are important issues when you use that approach:

* It will destroy most of the original texture
* It can lead to artificial looking textures
* It can lead to irregular highlights and shadows

In this Photoshop tutorial we try to solve the problem using color samplers and a levels correction in combination with a mask.
The healing brush will be used at one point, but only to make some very minor adjustments to the tan line itself.
