Photoshop CS4 Studio Techniques- P16: Staring at a shelf full of Photoshop books at the local bookstore, it seems that there are more special-effect “cookbooks” and technical tomes than anyone would ever care to read. The problem is that none of those “cookbooks” provide enough detail to really let you feel like you understand the program

Chapter 11 Retouching Techniques long to hold down the mouse button to get the proper change in the image. Now that you have everything set up properly, center your cursor on the pupil and then press the mouse button until the eye looks slightly larger—about a second should do it (Figure 11.144). Repeat the process on the other eye, holding down the mouse button for the same amount of time. You can also use Liquify to open eyes that are partially shut (Figure 11.145). Liquify isn’t always the best for this kind of work, however; it’s better to work with multiple photos so that you can copy an open eye from one photo, paste it Figure 11.144 The final image with slightly larger eyes. onto a closed eye in another image, and use the Healing Brush to blend in the edges. But for those times when you have only one shot to use, the Bloat and Warp tools can help pry open an eye (Figure 11.146). Figure 11.145 Original image. (©2008 Dan Ablan.) Figure 11.146 First try at opening an eye. Start by choosing the Bloat tool. Set Brush Size so that the brush is about 3/4 of the width of the eye, set Brush Den- sity to a low setting (somewhere around 20 should work) so that you mainly scale the center of the eye, and set the Brush Rate to 20. Now, click the center of the pupil four or ﬁve times so that it starts to enlarge (Figure 11.147). To get the rest of the eye to look natural, make a few single clicks just to the right and left of the center of the eye 436

Place the crosshair in the center of the brush on the eyelid and drag up or down to reshape it (Figure 11.149). Keep tweaking the image until each eye has the proper shape. If you mess up and create a ghoul- ish rendition of an eye, switch to the Reconstruct tool, bring down the Brush Pressure and Brush Rate settings to around 20, and then click or paint across the eye to see if you can smooth it out. Figure 11.147 Click in the center of the eye a few times Figure 11.148 Click the sides to even out the eye. to pry it open. Figure 11.149 Reshape the eyelid with the Warp tool if necessary. 437
Chapter 11 Retouching Techniques Retouching Mouths Let’s use the Warp tool to transform a straight mouth into a smiling one. Start by choosing the Warp tool. Change the Brush Size setting until you get a brush about half the width of the mouth, set the Brush Density to 50, and set the Brush Pressure to 50 or more. Next, move your mouse so that the crosshair is just below the right edge of the mouth, and drag upward and to the side slightly to move the corner of the mouth up and out (Figure 11.150). Repeat this process on When adding smiles, don’t forget the left side of the mouth. Change the Brush Size setting to the cheeks. There’s more to a smile get a brush slightly smaller than the one you just used, place than just an upward turn of the mouth. the crosshair on the top edge of the lips (centered horizon- tally), and drag down a short distance (Figure 11.151). Figure 11.150 Use the Warp tool to push the side of the Figure 11.151 Pull the middle of the lip down slightly. mouth up and out. (©2008 Dan Ablan.) It takes some practice to get an acceptable result. If you mess up, paint across the area with the Reconstruct tool to get it closer to the original, or click the Restore All button to start over. Digital Liposuction If you need to nip or tuck some bulging ﬂesh, do it by mas- tering the Warp, Pucker, and Push Left tools. When work- ing on waistlines, use the Warp tool with a largish brush, a medium Brush Density setting (around 50), and a high Brush Pressure (around 80). Drag the background toward the waist (Figures 11.152 and 11.153). 438

If you need to move a large area, consider using the Push tool. Choose a large brush, set the Brush Density to 100, and use a very low Brush Pressure (around 10). Position your cursor so that the crosshair just touches the edge you need to move, and drag to push the ﬂesh in one direction (Figures 11.154 and 11.155). Drag straight down if you need to push the skin toward the right of your cursor; hold down Option/Alt if you need to move the skin in the oppo- site direction. If the background gets distorted too much, click OK in the Liquify dialog and use the Clone Stamp tool to replace the distorted background with something that looks more appropriate. Content-Aware Scaling Figure 11.155 Result of pushing quite a bit of flesh, using the Push Left tool. Photoshop CS4 has introduced some new magic in the form of a scale tool. The Content-Aware Scale command allows you to take out unwanted spaces with the click and drag of a mouse. Every once in a while, you might have an image where the subjects aren’t as close together as you’d like (Figure 11.156). Make sure that the image is not the Background layer. (If it is, duplicate it, or double-click it to make it an editable layer.) Choose Edit > Content-Aware Figure 11.156 Sometimes your Scale. Handles appear around the image, like those you subjects are too far apart. (©2008 would see with a normal scaling operation. Click and drag. Dan Ablan.) 439
Chapter 11 Retouching Techniques Figure 11.157 shows the result: In this example, the three ﬁgures are now closer together, with the original layer shown beneath. Content-aware scaling is like magic, but it’s not going to solve all your problems. Some images work better than oth- ers, such as a person’s head against a blue sky. You’ll have to experiment with the options, and see what works best for your images. Figure 11.157 The Content-Aware Scale command allows you to remove some of the unneeded green space between the three figures. The Next Step We’ve reached the end of the book, and we’ve covered all the tools you’ll need to become a bona ﬁde “photo doctor.” Bear in mind that you don’t need to limit yourself to working with photographs; the tools and techniques we’ve covered here can be used for non-photographic images as well. As with everything else in Photoshop CS4, once you’ve gone around the block with these tools a few times, you’ll probably think of a dozen other things you can do with them. From here, the learning doesn’t stop. Head on over to the ofﬁcial book page at www.danablan.com/photoshop and view the Chapter 12 video, “Workﬂow,” which shows image capture, color correction, global toning, and more. Thanks to 3D Garage.com, you’ll also ﬁnd ﬁve more bonus videos covering line art scanning, channels, shadows, type and background effects, and resolution settings. 440
