I use the following tools, you guys can figure out the settings.
The smudge tool to blend pixels.
The match color feature under image, then I use the luminance to brighten the image, works better than the Brightness tool in my opinion because it doesn't "dull" the thumbs.
I like using the sharpen tool instead of the filter, gives you more control over certain parts of the thumb to sharpen.
Get to know the Levels controls....Using the "Set white point" on the thumb can make an awesome improvement. Play with it.
Then then obvious, color balance, hue/saturation, contrast....Once in awhile I use the burn tool to make the girls lipstick stand out, our the Dodge tool on green/blue eye to make them stand out and look brighter/lighter.
I do not use all of these on one thumb, each thumb is different, just takes tons of practice.
