2. go to Filter.. Noise... Dust & Scratches
3. I used a radius of 7 and a threshold of 3 for this sample
4. hold down option and create a new layer mask ( black)
5. use a white paintbrush to paint over the stubble
6. double click on the layer thumbnail
7. hold down option and move the white slider to the left until stubble starts to appear
8. if you are satisfied go to step 11
9. press command option shift E to create a new layer out of the other ones
10 repeat steps 1-7
NOTE: a shortcut for step 5. Hold down option and drag the original mask to the new one ( it saves painting the same area)
11. if needed, lower opacity a bit
12. if there are areas that need darkening or lightening, flatten the image an use the dodge tool
