Remove Wrinkles in Photoshop with Patch Tool
Searching through Flickr I found an image very suitable for this tutorial1. In a couple of minutes, you too will be able to transform an image as shown below!
- 01. Open your photo in Photoshop (I’m using Photoshop CS2).
- 02. Select the Patch Tool
.2 - 03. After selecting the Patch tool, make sure your settings match mine.
- 04. As if you were using the lasso tool, make a selection on a wrinkled area, like this:
- 05. Now, put your Patch tool inside the selection click and drag the selection to skin that does not have wrinkles. You should see something like this:
- 06. After finding a spot that looks good, let go of the mouse and the spot should now have the skin replaced by the sample you chose. Here’s mine:
- 07. Continue doing the same throughout the whole face. Keep in mind not to do big chunks at a time, as it may be hard to find big pieces of skin to replace the wrinkled one with.
Here is my final product:

Great tutorial. Surprisingly there are a lot of people who use Photoshop and don’t know that you can even do things like this. I love it to see when people are using Photoshop to their full potential.

My mum would love this! I took a photo of her a couple of weeks ago, and she was telling me to get rid of a couple of wrinkles for her
