Playing with Liquify

[scootermcq]

Do you think this works? I have never really done much with facial structure changing previously. Sure, I have smoothed skin, fixed acne, brightened eyes etc... but this was the first kick at the cat with double chins. My wife wanted them gone and I could not afford the plastic surgery, so here it is....

Double chin removal works better with the "Heal" or "Clone" tools. Liquify works well for enlarging the eyes or elongating the neck, etc.

Very effective Scott. Turned out very nice, subtle and not noticeable unless you had the before... As it should be.

Thanks Bruce

Really nice work, Scott!

saw this earlier, but was not able to respond. If you had not posted the before picture, I would not be able to tell anything was done. It looks really nice and natural! Good work Scott!

Thanks Susan and Lucas

I guess I should also point out, that I don't consider this a portrait or anything. This is simply a snapshot taken at our superbowl party. My wife was sitting beside me and I snapped it with bounce flash only. The image is not cropped etc, I just chose it to try removing the excess chins.

No worries, Scott - I'm just impressed with how well it came out.

Great edit! Like everyone else has said, I wouldn't be able to tell if you hadn't shown the Before. Well done!!

Your methods definitely worked Scott...well done
