Help! I'm having problems with neck wrinkles!
I know wrinkles naturally form when a head is turned, but for one reason or another these two are bugging the heck out of me. What needs to be done here? Should I get rid of one or the other? Should I just lighten the wrinkle's shadowing? What would you do? What needs to be done to make them less there, so to speak? Thanks! Gary  May 19 14 10:14 am Link I think I'd lighten them.. I've taken them out before and you look at the picture and know something is wrong but can't necessarily put your finger on it. Your mind knows there should be creases! May 19 14 10:30 am Link I think before you invest a lot of time in removing, or partially removing them you should preview the effect. You can do this very quickly by using the Patch Tool (or even a big Spot Healing Brush) to remove them and then Fade the effect back in to get an idea of how it's likely to look.

If you're familiar with frequency separation, try patching just the low frequency layer, to keep the natural look of having creases there, but reducing the apparent depth (that sentence will make sense if you try it).
