Remove Genesis 2 skin blemishes?

Genesis 2 is a pretty amazing figure, but I'm using a morph to turn the male fig into a boy. The trick is that some of the blemishes worked into the texture map look like razor stubble. Is there a way to remove them?

    One of the many perils of using an adult's texture set on a young lad, I'm afraid. You could take the textures into Photoshop and manually edit them if you're that way inclined, but it's not easy to do well. You're far better off using a texture set intended for young boys, such as Young Teens, Brodie or the Brothers textures.

    Alternatively, you can use a different male texture which is a bit more blemish-free, though from experience those aren't terribly easy to find. Men tend to be a bit more weathered after all.

    I agree with HoF. The odd isolated blemish is easy enough to cover up in an image editor, but something like stubble would be a challenge even for the experienced and quite likely not to be worth the effort. There are one or two skins for older generation figures that may do, but if you don't have them (or their UV sets for G2, M4 being the most likely requirement) then you are better off buying one or more of the teen sets for G2M. There is not a bad choice at the moment: Jayden, Colin, Brodie, Jake and I think Tomsy, which uses M5 UVs so can be used on G2M without needing add-ons (does not require Fiends Forever for G2M use). Some of these require other products, so you need to watch out for that. Jayden or Brodie are probably the safest bets in that respect. They are expensive, though, to buy just for the textures.
