When creating collages or to stylize compositions in order to fit certain artistic concepts, designers sometimes change the proportions of bodies or their parts in images. For such transformations, the Adobe Photoshop editor is often used. To reduce the body in Photoshop, both in parts and in whole, you can use the built-in tools and tools.
It is necessary
- - Adobe Photoshop;
- - the original image.
Instructions
Step 1
Load the original image into Adobe Photoshop. Press Ctrl + O or choose "Open…" from the File menu. Go to the required directory, select the file, click "Open".
Step 2
Determine the nature of the transformations to which the body should be subjected. If you want to resize it entirely, go to step six. If you only need to reduce body parts (e.g. thighs, bust), go to step 3.
Step 3
Activate the Liquify filter. Select the item with the same name in the Filter section of the main menu or press Shift + Ctrl + X. In the dialog that opens, check the Show Image box. Press the Zoom Tool button or the Z key, select a convenient viewing scale.
Step 4
Turn on the mode to reduce parts of the image. Click the Pucker Tool button. Adjust the settings for the tool by changing the Brush Size, Brush Pressure, Brush Rate and Brush Density.
Step 5
Reduce body parts. Click or brush over them. Control the impact by reversing changes if necessary. With the left mouse button held down, the faster the image will decrease, the higher the Brush Rate parameter.
Step 6
If you need to reduce the entire body, select it along the outline. Use Polygonal Lasso, Magnetic Lasso or a combination of both. If necessary, adjust the selection in the quick mask mode.
Step 7
Transfer the body image to a new layer. From the menu, choose Layer, New, Layer via Copy, or press Ctrl + J. Delete the body from the previous layer. Switch to it. Press the Del key or select Clear from the Edit menu.
Step 8
Shrink your body. Switch to the layer created in step 7. From the menu choose Edit, Transform, Scale. Click the Maintain aspect ratio button in the top panel. Move the edges of the frame to resize the image as needed. Double click inside the frame to apply the changes. Use the Move tool to adjust the position of the body.
Step 9
Switch to the bottom layer. Fill in the background image the area previously occupied by the body. Use the Clone Stamp or Patch Tool. Merge the layers you worked with if necessary. Switch to the top layer. Press Ctrl + E or choose Layer and Merge Down from the menu.
