Ifyou already have blood in an image, it is very helpful because you can Clone Stamp it from one section to another. In this particular image, we copy some of the blood from the nose onto the outside of the scar.
"This is also a classic case of 'this is not really about x.' Why do they want the scar gone? Why don't they respect [original poster's] no? Why is anybody involved beyond the couple? What are these pictures to be used for if they are not to reflect [original poster] as she is?"
So in the vanilla game that I am trying to mod there is selection of scars that are very pinkish and do not adjust based on the skin color you select for your character. From my research, scars are actually a shade of your skin color and can range from very light (I have very light skin and almost white scars) to pretty dark. I should mention that you can have 10 different shades of skin in the game.
Before that I tried to make the scar just lighter but quickly realized that it looks pretty bad on dark skin. There just does not seem to be a setting where I can adjust the opacity. At least I don't see it anywhere.
I generally do the color correction in the Adobe Lightroom and then do retouching in the Photoshop (removing the blemishes and the scars). But I want to do retouching (removing the blemishes and scars) in Lightroom at the same time when working on the color correction part.
There is a tool which is "Spot Removal". I have tested it and it is not working fine for me as I have more images with a large number of blemishes on the skin. Please give your suggestion If there is any other way/tool to do the same. So I can do all the images in Lightroom only and can avoid jump into Photoshop.
It's more awkward to use than use than corresponding tools in Photoshop, and will slow down Lightroom if you're trying to fix a lot of spots in one image. I don't do this kind of retouching, but I imagine that getting good results will be difficult in Lightroom.
I know that spot removal in LR can work on little spots. That is why I am asking if there is any other way for retouching in LR. I wanted to avoid the two sofwtware at the same time. If there is no other way to edit the images in LR then I will go for Photoshop as same as I am currently doing.
Lightroom's Spot Removal tool also works well on big spots by holding down the mouse key and dragging the spot to cover the area that needs retouching. For blemishes, scars, and lines use the 'Heal' mode. You may need to reposition the clone source spot if it's placed in an area that isn't similar to the immediate area around the blemish. It generally works very well and similarly to the Photoshop Spot Healing Brush tool. The only downside is some systems start to exhibit lag and slow down after placing a very large number of Spot Removal Clone or Heal spots. If this happens try unchecking of 'Use Graphics Processor' in Edit> Preferences> Perfomance menu.
As a teacher, throughout my career, I looked for "teaching moment," or times when I could take advantage of a current event, either in the school, my classroom, or anywhere in the world, to teach my students something important. You don't have to be a professional educator to be a teacher. We're all teachers in some way, whether one is a parent, a relative, a librarian, or a business person. We are teachers even if only by the example of our actions. You have discovered your scars are a teaching moment, and have acted upon it to teach others. This indeed makes you a hero and an angel, and it will bring you rewards in this world and the next.
You need Photoshop, Gimp or some other program that has layers and allows you to save a png with a transparent background. As to realistic scars, do you mean burn scars or knife scars? Wild animal bite scars? You would probably just need to find good refetence material somewhere online.
I searched and there aren't any scar tutorials apparently but there are several tutorials on the web on how to make tattoos for Second Life. My advice would be to learn to how make and place a tattoo on the exact location on your avatar where you want the scar to be. Once you figure it out the next step is to replace the tattoo with a scar. As for creating the actual scar, you could take a screenshot of your body location, open it in Photoshop, and draw out a scar on a new layer using the color picker tool to select your own skin tones.
In this tutorial, we learn how to remove a scar in Photoshop. First, select the magnifying glass to zoom in on the area you are working on. Next, select the paperclip icon, the select the second brush. Now, come to the edge of the scar and drag across the around the entire scar. Come back around, then the scar will be highlighted. Now click down and hold the image highlighted, and you can smooth out the skin and it will disappear. Next, do this on the other side of the face to remove the rest of the scar. You can also change the lighting to make shadows look better, then save!

I figured out how to make scars after some trial and error and combing through various resources. The part the eluded me the most was how to format everything. Channels and DDS file exporting were not things I ever messed with despite playing about photoshop over the last 20+ years lol.
Check out this link to HeartsWires' Random (Neck) Scars Wip file page and download the "GUIDE - merging scar replacers and scars." Here you'll learn how make your own scar packs and it works for the ones from Larian and from any mods that use the Scar atlas.
(I think the only one you don't want to replace is the illithid pattern one- the game doesn't let you manually choose that tile anyway. If there is a way to add to the number of selectable scars, I haven't found it.
Also, I've using Paint.NET to save the DDS files. I should be able to use Photoshop for this- but there are simply too many DDS options. HeartsWires shows in detail how to save the files in Paint.NET, so you're in good hands.
For my part, I use Photoshop 2024 and just realized I can easily make normal maps in it. It's just a filter which blew my mind. The tricky part is designing the scars and figuring out the light/dark values. The burn/dodge tools come in handy for getting smooth shades of gray.
Here's a short video I made demonstrating the method that so far has been working. It just covers the Photoshop portion and I have no idea how this might translate into GIMP or other image editors- Scar Tutorial:
I found this photo of a woman with a large facial scar and decided to try and use Photoshop to remove the scar. I used the spot healing and clone tool to remove the scar and then the Gaussian blur with a mask to smooth the skin.
Yes, I agreed that the media either mainstream or digital has been created a stigma in the minds of people, in the form of a flawless woman skin who is being liked by everyone while the one with a tiny scar is being rejected. They have shaped the mindset of people.

Scars and blemishes are one of the common issues with the human skin. I am not calling them a problem because it is so common among us and we always learn to accept them. But in Photography the always appears as an issue. If the Photo is taken with a good quality lens, it will reveal a lot about the scar and obviously, it will not be something comfortable for either the model or the Photographer. The presence of a scar or blemish might destroy the beauty of a good photograph. So in most cases, Photographers will remove scars using Photoshop. So it is important to know how to retouch scars.
If we take a close look at our photo, we will realize that there is a dark boundary around this scar too. To fix these dark areas first we need to create Black & White adjustment layer. From the Photoshop menu, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Black and white. A window will appear. Just press Ok on that.
To lighten up the blackish areas, we need to create a Curves Adjustment Layer. In the same way as before, go to Layers > New Adjustment layer and select Curves. A curves adjustment layer will be created. Press Ok on the dialogue box. Now you need to increase the light of the photo by using the curves.
You will see that the layer mask of this curve adjustment layer is white. That means the layer is visible. We need to make this invisible. So click on the layer mask and from Photoshop menu, go to Edit > Fill. Select Black in the Contents section and press ok. It will paint the layer mask in to black. That means the layer will be invisible now.
Now select the Brush tool from the tools section. You need to use a large brush with soft age for this task. Also, the Flow must be lowered to 20%. This will help us to work gradually. Now select the foreground color to white and start using the brush tool to paint over the blackish scar area.
We know that in layer masks, white color will make anything visible and black color will make anything invisible. So we are basically painting this part of the layer white to make it visible. Because we will do some editing later and we do not want the other parts to be affected.
Now go to the layers palette and double click on the thumbnail icon of the layer mask (half-filled circle beside layer mask). It will bring up the curves window. Now adjust the curves to make the image a bit lighter.
After removing the dark parts, we still have to deal with the whiter parts of the scar. We need to reduce it. For this again we need to create a curves adjustment layer like before (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves). Now we will use the curve to make the image a bit darker then it is. After making it dark, click on the layer mask and go to Edit > Fill and select Black. It will fill the layer mask with Black (invisible).
