avatar vicspaHave you also tried hitting ctrl/alt/ and that squigly thing to the left of the #1 ?
it will give you a selection, copy and paste, then blur till some of the blemishes smooth out.
If you have not tried this, do try it, it works pretty well.

no avatarThis method is great if youre pushing pixels digitally, but once you step into the print realm it
becomes much more complicated.
This is an effective amateur way but please dont insult we professonals like this.

I have had some pictures for years, that were just shot (terrible beyond words) and just couldnt fix
them to where they looked proper , this tutorial fixed them!
