  1. My model has a tiny stain on her white. I tried concentrating on the first part of the tutorial thru the Healing Tool and nothing made a difference. My first goal ‘though is to delete the stain – may be it’s called blood shot – I really am not sure. I have resigned to the thought that this particular stain will never go away at this time. So I was hoping going on to find out if the veins will make a difference on the process of following the tutorial – and there was none. I hope you can give me more information about the stupid stain and all. I like the way you handle the whole thing – very clear and easy to comprehend. It’s just me. Thanks.
