One of the most useful tools for "touching-up" a photograph to remove imperfections is the cloning tool. You can remove unwanted blemishes, freckles, shadows and even wrinkles from your photograph.
 

Using the Stamp Tool (cloning tool)
	To rid a face of wrinkles, select the cloning tool. The area the cloning  will duplicate is related to the size and type brush you have selected.
	Double click on this tool to bring up its menu. Select lighten and 50% Opacity.
	The idea is to identify a part of the skin that you will clone and stamp onto the darker circles under the eyes.
	To clone, hold down your option key and click on the area you wish to duplicate. Then, without holding down the option key, click or drag on the area you wish to replace.
	Using this same technique, except keeping the settings normal and 100% opacity, you can remove shadows from a photograph
