How to Correct a Shiny Forehead in Photoshop
No matter how much preparation you do for a photo, something about your model or group portrait may not go as planned. While you could reassemble your subjects, that could take time and effort. Instead, correct simple flaws such as shiny forehead skin by taking the photos into Adobe Photoshop. With a few clicks of Photoshop's graphic software tools, you're able to give someone a digital powdering without any makeup or blotting towels required.

Click the "Image" menu, click "Adjustments" and select "Vibrance." Drag the small "Vibrance" window so you can see both the window and the person's forehead.

Move both the "Vibrance" and "Saturation" slider bars to the left or right, watching as the forehead area changes color. Depending on the person's skin color and tone, this may require very little change or more significant sliding.

Write down the two numbers in the "Vibrance" box if you are going to adjust any other shiny spots on the person's face. This will ensure you use the same numbers each time, instead of sliding the bars.
