How to make body parts appear bigger or smaller?

sanelaplivac

Hi everyone.

Let's for example that you have a photo of one person and that person is chubby.

So how do I make that person belly, breast and other parts look smaller

or

if I have a very skinny model who wants me to make her breast to look double bigger then they are.

Please help me with this

Thank you for all your help

Try playing around with Filter -> Liquify

You could also save the image as a separate file, size the whole thing down a bit, copy parts of the larger version over, and blend them into the person.

sometimes if you want a quick and crude way of doing it you can ues filters like "dister>spherize" this if done minimal looks very real however if done to much it will look f ake, percents under 50 seem to work very well... btw you have to select the section you want bigger or smaller

I have found a way to do this. Takes a few steps but this is well worth it, here goes:

1. Select the body part, also include the body of the person using the selection tool. Make sure to leave some space between the selection tool and the person's body part.
2. right click on the selection then click on "Layer via copy"
3. click on "edit" then click on "puppet warp"
4. next make sure that the tick box 'show mesh' at the top menu bar is selected
5. then left click on points on the body part that you would not like to move, these can be elbows, knees or shoulders for example.
6. next slowly drag the parts in the mesh to correct the size of the body part.
7. once you are done, you should look around the image for any parts that have not blended in, use the eraser tool on "60% hardness" to blend in the hard edges.

Hope this works well for you as it did for me.

* Remember to practice to get a little more experience, this really worked for me.
