Celebrities and Photoshopped Images - How the Stars Look Thinner in Magazines
Many people always envy how certain Hollywood personalities and Supermodels always look flawless in their photos.
But they also forget about the magic that was done by the publications' artists through Photoshop.
The combination of celebrities and Photoshopped images was once a secret.
It has now become the subject of jokes and guessing games where you name which image is unenhanced by the power of any imaging software and which one is not.
If you'd like to look thinner and flawless like actors and models in your own photos, here are some suggestions on how you can do it.
One of the common problems anyone can have in a photo is the appearance of a big tummy, love handles, and other flabby parts of the body.
To make yourself look thinner in the picture, open the image in Photoshop.
Go to Layer, then click on Duplicate Layer.
Simply select OK and this will accept all the default settings.
With the new layer of your image, click on Filter, then choose Liquify.
In the Liquify window that will appear, you need to choose a brush size.
With your selected brush, you can already contour your waist and other body parts according to your desired shape by pushing inwards.
Click OK once you're satisfied with your new body shape.
There may be times that you'd notice that the background of your photo would seem distorted.
To correct this, you need to use the Clone Stamp tool.
If you want to avoid these warped background cases, you might want to completely cut your figure from the original background and set it on a new white background prior to "slimming down" your body.
You might come across some images of celebrities before and after Photoshop alterations that reveal the presence of cellulite on their thighs, buttocks, and other areas.
Even Supermodels who appear to be so thin have their photos retouched before they get published in magazines.
To be able to achieve that perfect dimple-free thighs, arms, and buttocks in your photos, open the image in Photoshop.
Click on the Filter tab.
Select Blur, then Gausian Blur.
To create a blurred image using this tool, adjust the Radius slider.
You now need to make a snapshot of this blurred image.
To do this, go to the History palette and click on the camera icon.
Original snapshot should be the top photo and the "active" one.
Photo below is the blurred image.
Make the blurred image your "Source" by clicking on the small box next to it.
Choose the right-sized brush from the History Brush tool.
Paint over the visible cellulite on the image.
Use zoom in and zoom out functions to be able to do this accurately.
So the next time you see images of celebrities before and after Photoshop, you know now how the transition was done.
And you can even do it on your own photos.
