The Coolest Thing Yet

So, have I mentioned before that I love photoshop. No really, I LOVE photoshop.
Today I learned how to use the liquify too. Basically a tool that you can use to distort parts of your image, sucking in and pushing things back. Here's two versions of the same photo, (Erika, hope it's okay to use you for this demo, if you don't like it I will take this down, mainly family and the odd friend reads this blog, but anyway...)

Using the liquify tool I made her arm a smidge thinner, her tummy a little tighter (at the expense of Ben's...but you're a boy you don't care, and slimmed her right thigh.) Can you see the difference? It's supposed to be somewhat subtle, but oh the possibilities.

 

 


Next to try this out on myself! Think of the post baby picture edits one could do! :)

Makes me think of one of the Vinyl Cafe Dave and Morley stories where a guy deals with a Bully by very subtly changing the environment every day over a long period of time to eventually have the bully go somewhat nuts...

That is fantastic. It's subtle but very effective. You are my Photoshop guru!
