You can accomplish the same thing and by using the clone and healing brush tools in roughly 30 seconds vs over 4 minutes.... and gaussian blurring loses realistic texture compared to the clone and blemish tools-which protects it. Also creating multiple layers is necessary when you can use masks. Your method with the erase tool creates a destructive layer that cant be changed later vs a simple mask.... plus it bloats your file size and only adds unneeded time and energy to your workflow.

This is an effect, not simply a way to clone or graft skin from other parts of the body. The tools you mentioned will give you a much different look. This is more stylized. Try them both, compare them and you'll see. Unless you do it wrong.

On the mask, you are right and wrong. True, masks reveal the background image or erase without getting rid of data. But I skipped that for lack of time. Also, a mask does not save file size at all. Please don't embellish so much.

I'm sorry you got lost. What I did was first select the blemish with any selection tool you like, then go to Select > Inverse. This selects everything but the original selection. With that done, I can delete everything except for the blemish area that I have blurred to get rid of the blemish. Hope that helps.

Great instruction!

Nice, but you lost me at the Inverse step. You started clicking the keyboard and back-tracking and not explaining why you were backing in and out of the Inverse.
