Flattening/Reshaping stomachs.

<p>I did a glamour shoot and the sitter would like me to reshape her stomach a little. She's actually pretty thin but age has caused a little paunchiness. I'd prefer a stand alone product as my Photoshop is ed 7. TFTH</p>

<p>Google the Liquify Filter/option, this is your best bet in Photoshop. There are videos on Youtube on how to use this.</p>

<p>other than photoshop i cant say..</p>

<p>you can with your version of Photoshop do what i use to do, slect the problem area with the circle marquee tool, and use the spherize filter.. or get a demo of CS5 and use liquify ; )</p>

<p>So I did Google the Liquify filter and watched a couple of video's. It's apparent that I need to upgrade my Photoshop since the tool is pretty nice. I am wondering how it would work on a frontal shot tho. I'm not pulling the edges of the waist in from side to side, although that would show a reduction, I need to more or less shrink the bottom of the belly back in if that makes sense. I'm wondering if a better result would come from manipulating shading or healing? I think tonight I'll post a jpg of the problem. I appreciate the responses.</p>

<p>the liquify tool is not only a push tool.. it have a pucker / bloat tool, that act as a kind the spherize filter in your PS 7.</p>

<p>If your only concern is to make the belly less *over* the belt kind of correction..a simple stamp tool to reduce the shadow can work.</p>
