Liquifying Images
|
|||||
| In this tutorial you will be introduced to the "Liquify tool" to show you how to make a very simple but subtle change to enhance a picture. | |||||
| 1. This is the original image of a potrait of a lovely model. She doesn't look too happy there; a smile would make her look soooo much better! |  |
||||
|
2. First of all, duplicate the layer; the duplicated layer is the image we want to modify. In this instance, we want the girl's smile to be brighter without making her look like some sort of alien, which fortunately is easy to do with the Liquify tool. |
|||||
| 3. Activate the Liquifing window (Image>Liquify menu or Shift+Ctrl+X). There are quite a few tools here, but the easiest tool to use (and the one you'll probably use the most often) is the Warp tool (top left). Set the Brush Size to 10 and Pressure to 30. |  |
||||
3. Begin with one side of the mouth by lifting the corner up slightly. Then apply the same method on to the other side of the mouth. Try not to overdo the warping. You'll be surprised at how light, smaller strokes can be used to make a lot of difference. |
 |
||||
4. It's actually trickier than it looks to make these small adjustments. It takes a while to achieve the desired look, and if you're happy with your results then click OK. Otherwise, continue with the small strokes to make your subtle changes. |
 |
||||
| 5. Now use the same technique to reshape her cheeks, eyebrows and maybe the eyes. You may change the brush size and pressure if you need. | |||||
6. This is what i came up with. I went for a more saucy smile.
