What we do is actually remove the mole using a very simple tool.

Open the image in Photoshop Select the "Spot Healing Brush Tool" (the one that looks like a band aid) Change the size of brushes for the approximate size of place (this is the tool to set the menu bar below) Quick Tip: If the image is too small to select the area, just zooming by holding down the Control key and pressing the + key. Nowwe have tochoose the sample area . This is what changes the area will look like this (roughly) so pick up a clean skin area in the immediate vicinity, but not including disability. Press the Alt key on your keyboard to select the area. One selected sample area, simply click on an area with a mane and voila. She was gone. If it does not look natural, you can cancel this step and select a different sample area that can look more natural.

Filters

It's time to play with the filters. The filter will alter the image based on certain rules. Some examples are to create a mosaic image, which will break the image down into a mosaic type tiles and grout to add in between. Filters can be applied to any selection you make, but for now we use the whole picture.

Open the image in Photoshop Go to Filter menu and select Filter. Have to play. Do not be intimidated by names or what they mean. Remember, if you click OK, and you want to go back, you can always cancel. Once your satisfied with the settings and view, just click on OK and the filter will then be applied to your photo. If you want to try something more advanced, try selecting the area using a selection tool to apply a filter on this field. It can be quite fun to come up with different patterns in the picture.
