    Long story short I was at a wedding and got some great photos - which I am delighted about. Unfortunately, I got a big spot on my face which looks even worse in photos than I thought it was on the day.

    I now need to put these online, so vain as I am I want to try to do some very quick and basic retouching to get rid of the obvious red blotch.

    Can anyone please help? What software package is easiest and how do I do it? I've used PSP, fireworks and photoshop a little before but yet to have a go at this.

    Thanks for your help.

    Photoshop (or Lightroom) - Spot Healing Brush tool + google

    GIMP will work as well (Ive done the above) and its free.

    Lightroom and photoshop would be better though, however you have to pay for them.

    Just use any program and has a clone tool and soften the edges of the brush and clone in an area from elsewhere on your face with the same light falling on it.
