How to Remove a Mole in a Photo

Though some people are born with moles, it doesn't mean that it needs to show in a photograph. Removing a mole in a photo requires digital image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). In a few easy steps you can entirely remove any imperfection, including moles, pimples and freckles. This convenient technique is important to making your digital photos stand out blemish-free.

Things You'll Need

• Digital image editing software

Instructions

1. Select the healing brush tool.

2. Find a perfect facial area you want to copy. The skin color should closely match the area surrounding the mole.

3. Hold the "Alt" key (Photoshop) or "Ctrl" key (GIMP) while clicking the perfect area.

4. Release the "Alt" or "Ctrl" key, then click the mouse cursor over the mole. Gently paint the blemish. Watch as it changes to the skin tone you selected.

5. Save the image when you are done.
