Quick Nose Job

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Open an image of the nose you would like to change. I chose this one:

Now duplicate the layer by pressing Command J.

Select your Rectangular Marquee tool.

Make a selection around the face area.

Go to Filer > Liquify

You will have a new window pop up with your selection in it.

Select the push tool from the left hand corner menu.

You can then adjust your settings on the right hand side. I change the brush size often but keep the pressure the same. You have to be patient and take your time pushing things around.

Now just start pushing the areas you want to change. A good tip is to keep the brush larger than the area you are pushing.

When you have achieved the shape you are looking for, hit OK.

You will have a nose job!

1. Create a new file in photoshop with a white background.
Make a new layer with a white background. Go to Filter > Render > Clouds, and then Filter > Render > Difference Clouds. Press “CTrl + F” several times to reapply the filter to get something like below.

2. Press Ctrl + I to invert colors. Raise the contrast and lower the brightness, by going to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast.

3. Pick the eraser tool, a size of around 150, and 0% hardness, Erase around the layer, as shown below.

4. Now go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates, and check “Polar to Rectangle”.

5. Flip the layer vertically ( Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical) . Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and check “colorize”. Set the Values to something like Hue: 35, Saturation 95. Turn your background to black to show the effect off better.

6. Duplicate the fire layer and give it a gradient overlay (layer > layer style > gradient overlay). You can adjust the gradient, by clicking on the gradient sample (circled in red), and then changing it in the gradient editor.

7. Merge a blank new layer with the upper most fire layer, to get rid of the effect.

Reduce the opacity of the layer to around 50%, and then you’ve finished!

Erase Wrinkles

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Open your image in Photoshop.

Press Command J to duplicate the layer.

Use the Zoom tool and zoom in VERY close.

Now select the Eyedropper tool from the tolls palette.

Select an area directly underneath a wrinkle to sample the color.

The color you selected should be in the foreground color now.

Now select the brush tool from the tools palette and use the following settings:

Make sure the Enable airbrush capabilities is selected……………………………………………^^^

Now paint over the wrinkles. Adjust the brush size by pressing { for smaller size and } for larger size.

You will have to take your time. Keep adjusting the opacity of the brush as well as the color. Try not to make it look to fake, keep a natural balance. This process takes patience, and is very well worth it in the end.

After you are satisfied with the painting process:

Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur…

Use the following settings:

Now go to the History Palette and click the box next to the Gaussian Blur.
* If you cannot see your History, go to Window > History.

Now go to Edit > Step Backward.

Now select your History Brush from the tools palette.

Use the following settings:

Now brush over the areas you painted. Take your time, and don’t make it too blurry.
