Digital photo retouching tools provided by professional graphic editors today allow you to bring imperfect images to perfection. Smoothing the skin, enlarging the muscles, removing the sides - all this can be done through image processing. For example, in Adobe Photoshop.
Necessary
- - Adobe Photoshop;
- - a file with the original image.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the file in Adobe Photoshop containing the image of the person you want to fix by removing the sides. To do this, in the File section of the main menu, click on the "Open …" item or simply press the Ctrl + O keys on the keyboard. A dialogue will appear. Select a file in it and click "Open".
Step 2
Activate the Liquify filter. Select the item with this name in the Filter section of the main application menu or press the Shift + Ctrl + X key combination. Using the + and - buttons located at the bottom of the preview pane, or using the Zoom tool, which can be activated by the button in the right pane, select the appropriate display scale for work.
Step 3
Start setting up the image correction tool. Click on the Pucker Tool button on the right side of the dialog or press S on your keyboard. In the Tool Options group on the right, enter options in the text boxes.
Step 4
By changing the value of the Brush Size field, select the size of the brush that will be used for the correction. Its initial diameter can be set approximately equal to the height of the processed image fragment. To select the value of this parameter, simply move the brush over the image of the side that you want to remove. Make sure that the area to be squeezed fits completely or almost completely into the circle.
Step 5
Change the value of the Brush Pressure parameter. It determines the effect of the tool on the image. For the first attempts at correction, choose a not very large value, around 30%. Set the Brush Density to about 50. Change the Brush Rate to 5-15. The larger it is, the faster the correction takes place.
Step 6
Remove the sides from the photo. Move the mouse cursor to the desired location in the image. Click once. Assess the nature of the changes made. If you are not satisfied with it, press Ctrl + Z or the Reconstruct button and change the position of the brush or its diameter. Click or drag (with the left mouse button pressed) on the removed sides with a brush, achieving the desired result. After finishing the correction, click the OK button to save the changes.
Step 7
Save the image in the desired format. Press Ctrl + S or click on the File item in the main menu, and then select "Save As …". Specify the format, target directory and file name. Click the Save button.
