reduce a belly

[Josie Stahl]

Hi Damien, I've been asked to get rid of the fat belly look on the groom, as he doesn't have one in real life. Both photos are SOOR with some cloning on the background.  The second one I have liquified a bit and did a little dodge and burn. It has helped somewhat but it's not quite right yet. Maybe I wasn't aggressive enough. I'm not sure anything more can be done because that's the way he's standing. What do you think?

[Damien Symonds]

Gosh, I think you've done an amazing job!!

Maybe, though, he's expecting you to liquify his whole right arm and side inwards a bit?

[Josie Stahl]

Ok. I'll give it a go.

[Josie Stahl]

Well, I'd be happy with this one. thank you Damien!

[Damien Symonds]

As long as he doesn't notice how short his left forearm is, this might be ok.

But there's too much repetition in the grass where you moved his arm.

[Josie Stahl]

Gosh, I was careless. I hope I didn't miss anything here.

[Damien Symonds]

He is going to be VERY happy with this.

[Josie Stahl]

Thank you, Damien.

[Josie Stahl]

Well Damien, joke's on me. I got rid of the wrong belly. And they don't even want to keep that guy skinny. ?

[Damien Symonds]

Whaaat?

[Josie Stahl]

New version. I can't even delete the skinny guy layers.

[Damien Symonds]

Gee, I don't think you should have let her hand get squished like that.

[Josie Stahl]

Now his arm is the only thing I can't get back to it's former self. Does that look ok?

Is CS6 supposed to have the freeze parts of the photo option when liquifying?

Yes, it definitely does.
