I found this video on YouTube and thought it was incredible how much a program can manipulate not just an image but our perception of beauty!!! although rather un-impressed with the obvious usage of these techniques in magazines etc, i couldn’t help wondering how the hell it is done!!

can someone give me a run down on what tools she/he/it is using?

here is the video: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZDHQ9b9fbo>

all help will be much appreciated =]

For "slimming" your victim, try the Liquify tool. For retouching blemishes investigate the Patch tool, the Healing Brush and the Clone tool.

None of them are a one press solution, rather tools of the trade. Just as an inexperienced "conventional" retoucher would struggle at first with an airbrush, don’t expect instant success.

Practise, practise …then practise some more.

Have fun.

thanks =] i will try

although it seems like for some of the techniques the creator of that video opened a new window, that still looked like photoshop, but looked more like a plug in. any idea what that could have been?
