These Simple And Super Effective Tools Can Be Used For Various Purposes
You can make your client extra happy by tweaking her image just a little bit with very little effort using Photoshop.
I think these are probably the most powerful tools in Photoshop and I personally use them all of the time. Especially when editing a photo of myself (ha ha).
Seriously though, we don’t always get the image perfect in camera. Even sometimes when you have the most attractive subject these tools comes into play.
I may use the liquify tool to do something as simple as giving a woman a little fuller hair. But to be honest with you, some of my clients specifically ask me to make them look slimmer.

great tutorial, thanks! I use liquify a lot but you showed me a couple of hings I haven’t used before.
why its so stupid to do this ???? its not real you don’t look like that gee really who are you trying to fool!!
I need to get Photoshop.
Way better in the before picture
The full-figure picture looks much better. Changing it to make her look anorexic is why we have so many young girls with unrealistic body self images.
I’m glad I have it Shelly
I hope to be able to get the combo of the photoshop and lightroom, some time. Not to make clients thinner, just because I want to play with my own pictures.
Shelly I use the liquify tool constantly in family photo shoot edits. The example in this video is an extreme. If someone has played with the liquify tool or even uses it regularly then they will realize the way it’s implemented in this video is solid advice.
I am friends with many professionals who use the liquify filter all the time for minor touch ups. Truth be told I’ve used it on myself a couple of times to accentuate my curves :-).
I would never suggest someone do an edit this drastic because it is unrealistic. I will say this though. If you have a client and show them a picture with a turkey neck and then one without they will buy the one without every single time.
I can get rid of a turkey neck in seconds. That being said I have also been a Photoshop user for over 15 years now.
That is one tool, I will not touch.
No disrespect intended towards Photoshop or Modern Lens Magazine I love the capabilities of the software and would love to see how more artists are using it.
That photo looks ridiculous.

Thank you, it will be a while but I will get them. When I do, guess there will be a lot of learning to do. You have been so awesome.
Please don’t do this. The “after” photo looks weird.
Why would you want to change the body image of a client? This is why we have such a bad time with young ladies developmentally eating disorders.
I’m sorry, I love your tips and everything you teach, but don’t agree with this one. Thank you for everything else though.
I like her plump, looks more nourished…
That’s awful! I don’t want photo advice on how to make people not look like themselves. You lost me on this one.
This drives me crazy – clients with such low self esteem expecting me to fix them. I show them how to pose so they look thinner. Sometimes I just want to shake them. Grrr.
Like I said in the intro Tabbie Minzer this is an extreme example of the use of this tool. I use liquify in almost every portrait I sell. The uses are much more subtle though. Making hair fuller- pushing in the back of an arm, etc.
Like I said in the intro Stephanie Harkness Miller, Reanna Rae Kellie LeVan, and Tabbie Minzer this is a VERY extreme example of the use of this tool. I use liquify in almost every portrait I sell. The uses are much more subtle though. Making hair fuller- pushing in the back of an arm, pushing in the neck under the chin slightly, etc…. The advice given on the various features of the filter in this video are rock solid.
You have to look past the cover image
Just curious, how long have you been shooting?
Right?! It’s all in the posing if you ask me
The after does not look normal
Ryan Farisco hahahahahahahahahahaham ha.
almost 10 years now
Only pro fro a couple though- I have 15 years in Photoshop- Graphics Web Design etc..
I was just curious because you seem to have a lot of knowledge in the editing process
Forget the client, what does the model think about what you have done here? There have to be ethical guidelines on what is acceptable in today’s seemingly infinite digital darkroom and, like others, I believe this sort of editing—even the desire itself to make a body, but especially a female body, look “better”—to be a huge step over the line.
Bull$#%&!@*
Everyone has a type of look that they find attractive from hair color to body shape. If you’re a curvy girl find a man who likes a curvy girl and vice versa. The tutorial is cool and editing a few minor issues in a photo is cool. I wonder why there are never any tutorials showing how to give a waif model some curves???
I think she looks out of proportion in the “thinner” version .
THEY’RE SHOWING YOU HOW THE TOOL WORKS! Jesus! RELAX!!!
Can you ppl read or just look at pictures!?
