need photoshop savvy?

Question

I want to make my face and body look slimmer on a photo. Does anyone know how to fix that with photoshop? Any tips are welcome.

Answer 1

the fastest way would be to go to Image>canas size.
reduve the width, and everything will look skinnier. If you want your head or the background to remain the same, cut them out with the lasso tool, or the mask tool, then paste them over the skinny body .

Hope this helps. It is so easy to do when you are used to it, but so hard to explain sometimes.

Answer 2

I am assuming this is a photograph that already exists, and you would like to change your appearance. One thing you could try is to use the clone tool. For instance, if you are standing against a background...you could clone some of the background onto the part you want to slim down...a little bit at a time to make it look natural....and reduce your hips or whatever. You see the results all the time in ads for diet aids. You can also reduce a wider face by shading by cloning from a darker shadow on the face. You can smooth out double chins in this way. This all requires patience, skill and practice.

Answer 3

Try the Liquify filter. It is great for nudging body parts around.
