Check this out!
I have been editing photos we took at our booth at the mall. They are surprise pics for Mother's Day/Father's Day, so I don't want to spoil this little darling's present. I just had to show you this little trick I learned!
Check out her little hand heart above. She is adorable, and is actually a survivor or multiple heart surgeries, but I thought that perhaps that heart needed a little help. I took it into Photoshop and with a little experimenting with Liquify, look!
Looking at this now, I think the bottom of that hand on the right looks a little goofy, and her pinkie on the other hand looks a little pointy, so let's modify just a bit.
I am subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography subscription. It gives me full Photoshop {which I am still just a baby at using} and Lightroom {LoVE, LOVE LOVE!!!} It is TOTALLY worth the $10 a month I pay to have those two tools at my fingertips, even only working photography part time.
When you open Photoshop open the "filters" menu and choose Liquify {highlighted in blue above}. It takes a minute, at least on my computer for liquify to open in a new window, but then there are a couple tools there you can use to push or pucker, or bloat your existing image. I just kinda pushed around to open the heart up more, then played around with the other tools to get the look I wanted.
Here is my final result! I like this one. The heart isn't quite as perfect as the previous version, but I think her hands look more natural. Obviously I am not perfect at this, but I AM totally excited to have had this much success! Now, on to try a few other tricks!
