Taking self-portraits using a mobile phone is popular today. Since everybody wants to look good in picture, photo editing application becomes essential even in mobile phones. The applications, using simple image processing techniques, can reduce the noise, wrinkles and adjust the brightness of the photo. However, it is hard to remove large spots or acnes using the current simple photo editing applications. If it is possible, it requires a lot of human interaction. In this paper, we propose a system that can remove large spots and acnes in the portrait pictures automatically. The proposed system consists of three steps: face detection, acne marking and acne removal. Experiments show that the proposed system works well for the pictures in which the face colors are quite different.
