A few post ago a blog reader commented about the hubby taking not so flattering images of her…we all have those tucked away in a drawer somewhere…I meant to do a post on how to magically make us look thinner a post or two a ago..sorry for the delay.
Here is the 411
-make a copied layer of your image..clt J
-Use the transform tool…clt T
-Now normally when you use the transform tool you want to hold down the shift button so that you don’t skew your image…but this time we actually want to skew the image just a bit..
-So grab one of the side anchors and pull it in just a bit
-just like magic…5 lbs thinner…
-My suggestion is to not do this on your images unless the subject has asked for it for a particular reason..instead watch for the right angle and set your shot up accordingly. remember your goal should be to get everything “right” before and when your press the shutter..not in post processing…
I searched high and low and really didn’t have to search very hard for a not so flattering image of myself taken by my dad…I know he was focused on M proudly climbing the mountain of colored logs..and my rear end someone got in the way…LOL!! so here is a before and after with “make my butt look smaller trick”
BEFORE
AFTER
This message will self destruct in t minus 5….4….3…..2…..1
What I wont do for my peeps…so embarrassing!!!! LOL!!!
See you tomorrow!
