Photoshop – How to Lose Ten Pounds

If you’ve got Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, here’s an easy way to trim ten pounds off your photos.

 

1. Open the file.
2. Ctrl J to create a new layer to work on.
3. 3. In that new layer – Ctrl T to bring up the Transform tool.
4. 4. Alt-Ctrl the right center transform box and you can make yourself as skinny as you want. Probably anything more than 90% will look unnatural.
5. Get rid of the background layer and save your new lower weight self.

Taking Pictures of a Large Group

Do you ever take pictures of your family or a large group of people? The problem many times is that the more people you have in the shot, the greater are the odds that one of them will be blinking their eyes at the exact time you are snapping that photo. Here’s a solution I learned from a pro. Tell the group to close their eyes and on the count of three, open them. You count out – one – two – three and then take that perfect shot.

 

Blurry Background for Artifical Setups

If you want to take a picture of an insect or something rather small, and don’t like your current background, here’s a solution. Take a picture of a nice generic background, blur it in Photoshop, print it out and use it as your new background. Now when you take the picture of your insect, you’ll have a nice blurry greenish background which looks very natural.
