Portrait Shadow Removal Needed

Job ID: 40047019

Budget: $15 – $25 AUD

I have a single, well-lit portrait that still shows distracting shadows across the face and parts of the clothes. I need those shadows cleaned up so the skin tones look even and the outfit appears naturally lit, without changing any other aspect of the image.

Please work nondestructively in Photoshop (or your preferred equivalent) and deliver the final retouched file at the original resolution—both a flattened JPEG for immediate use and, if possible, a layered PSD so I can revisit the adjustments later. The finished result should look seamless, with no tell-tale brush marks or loss of detail.
