Photoshop Weight Loss Program: 20-pound loss in 4 minutes guaranteed

So I thought it would be fun to give a tutorial on how to shed the pounds in your photos. You can also use this tool to warp photographs or to enhance muscles.

Step 1:

We will apply the strongest effect by liquefying the photo. This feature can be used both for weight loss/gain, for warping photos, or for enhancing muscles. You can find this feature in Filter > Liquefy. Once there you will only be using the following tools.

Select the Pucker tool as shown and apply to the areas you wish to reduce in size. When performing the initial pucker it is always best to start off with a larger brush and then to gradually reduce the brush size to alter particular problem areas.

You can also use the forward warp tool to push difficult areas “into shape”. Be careful that you do not use it as the primary tool as it can leave the photograph looking unprofessional.

Step 2:

I like to use the burn and dodge tools to fix up specific areas by bringing out the shadows and pushing back the highlights where needed. This takes an eye for which areas need fixing up. Step back and ask yourself, “What looks off? If he/she were this size how would he/she look different?” I have highlighted the “problem areas” in my photograph:
