In this tutorial we’ll become “Digital Plastic Surgeons”
I use the liquify tool predominantly for correcting the following in my portraits
- Slimming down or enlarging specific areas of the body, such as the waistline, arms, or legs
- Adjusting the shape or size of facial features e.g jawlines
- Correcting facial asymmetry
- Smoothing out wrinkles in clothing
- Giving hair volume
- “Relaxing” tense shoulders
In this tutorial I will show you the basics of using the tools available in the liquify menu and the two most common tools in my workflow when it comes to editing portraits.
