I have been asked by a client to reduce her size a little in a photo. I can thin her down a little but I can’t work out what to do about the chin obvious double chin). I have been searching for hours for tutorials on this type of thing, can anyone possibly point me to a tut that may help me.

Hi Mick,

any chance of you sending me the photo and I will see if I can do anything with it? I may not be able to do any more than you, but certainly willing to give it a try.

Brian.

Hi Mick, once again,

if you are not comfortable sending that pic (understandable) you may want to have a look at this link:
http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10199

I have no idea how good it is, just spotted it in my travels. You would need to join the forum there to access info and user comments.

Regards,

Thanks for that Brian, funny thing is I spent ages in RTP looking around and couldn’t find that thread.

I appreciate the offer, but I think the lady would be a little miffed if she thought I was shooting her pic around, but I will keep you updated on how I go with it.

Just as a note, the image that they were playing with in that thread (woman with baby) the lady in that is rather small compared to the one I am trying to fix, but the techniques should do the job.

I did not actually look at that thread, maybe I had better have a look. Is your email address the one above less the word "remove" (and the underscores)? I just sent you a low res before and after to see if that is the kind of effect you are trying to achieve. I have only made a slight adjustment and retained the original character of the subject.

Regards,

I have another idea, Mick. Can you try to find a pic on the net of someone of similar stature to your client, and at a similar angle to the pic you have? That way I can have a go at working on that image, and if you like the result I can give you a step-by-step of how I did it.

but Mick. if this is how you really feel about it,
why don’t you blur her face a bit (I know you want to
work on her chin(s:-) but you can do it upwards,)
and change the colour of her clothes, and send the
pic to Brian?
(or… are there no clothes to be changed in colour:-)))

LMAO, behave young Dave! Actually, I found a pic online of someone with a double-chin (on the forum I directed Mick to), so I have slimmed her face down in one image, and totally removed her double-chin in another. I will send the pics to Mick via e-mail.

Have a great day/night, I am off to bed (1.29am)

Hey Dave,

if you are interested at all in seeing the double-chin I removed off the lady’s face in the Retouch Pro forum, take a look. It is the 2nd image I made there. The first one I only slimmed her face a little. The 2nd one I totally removed the double-chin. See if you can guess what technique I used (in the 2nd image)!

Please note the images are a little ‘rough and ready’ as I was too tired to be doing anything really…it was after 1am. The silly thing is, I am still awake now and it is 3.05am!

The link is http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10199 but I think you will need to log on to see anything.

Nite all,
Brian.

Have you tried to use the patch tool to even out the double chin and then maybe the healing brush to tidy it up

Katrin Eismann’s ‘PS Restoring & Retouching’ 2nd ed. has a great tut for subtly reducing both multiple chins and wide hips. Find the book wherever, read the section(s) and then buy the book – you won’t be disappointed.

I’m busy therewith now. Not the Katrin Eismann’s book, but the Restoring & Retouching of the widening hips. Most difficult part is the beer. The cold beer in a sub tropical Durban:-) I promised myself not to touch a beer… until its done. And in the tool pallet, make more use of the health walker. I found this to be the way!

Hi Dave,

I am still trying to "understand" your above post, it is somewhat cryptic 🙂 So, are you narrowing some hips on an image, or was that some sort of joke? If you are, just curious on your methodology there. I do the same sort of thing at times and I am curious if you go about things the same way as I do.

LOL.. you guess were right, Brian. Busy narrowing hips on a image. The image in the mirror:-O

I moved from Gauteng to Durban nearly a year ago, and while originaly been in a office, I take life even easier here. And don’t you tell me I should do more walking behind my camera… I know it, I know it, of course I know it:-)

I’ve got someone checking on my weight regularly.
It’s the 47 kilogram girl on the healthwalker here next to me. Only 2 k’s heavier than when we married. Decades ago.
She do not allow me to became a normal nice out of shape. While sitting talking to you and Don, she brought me a nice sweet treat. A high in fibre cereal bar with oats & jogurt topping; shucks it could have been a nice white chocolate. Such as life:-)

Easy to understand me, Brian. While patting me on the stomache with remarks about 5 kilograms that should not be there, and myself shifting the beer deeper in the corner of the fridge… so easy to understand… there is things the Liquify tool can not do…
