Cloning - Removing the shine on faces

1) Go to 'File', 'Open' the desired picture
2) 'Unlock' the image by double clicking on the 'locked' layer on the right.
3) On the left tool column, click on the 'clone stamp tool' (that resembles a stamp)
4) On the 'above' horizontal tool column, adjust the settings ie. Brush to a 'soft brush' eg. 27 or 100, Mode: Normal, Opacity: 20 / 32%, Flow: 100%, Sample: Current layer
5) Enlarge the picture for easy editing by increasing the percentage on the bottom-left of the picture and clicking on the picture again
6) Press 'Alt' and click on the area you would like to clone.
For skin, pick the area closer to the shine so that it looks more natural.
7) Release 'Alt' and click on the area you would like to remove the shine.
