Hey DPCer's I've got a question and I'm hoping someone can help me. I will be the first to admit that I'm not a portrait guy, I'm a sports photographer. However I'm doing a fundraiser doing portraits and I've done several sessions and they are going well. But I had a question from one of the clients about reducing her "double chin" and I'm honestly not sure how to go about removing it without being too obvious and horribly edited. I realize this is something I overlooked when posing the shot but this is after the fact and need to see if I can lessen the look a bit before printing. Any suggestions on how to go about it. If you want to see the photo in question I can post it tonight when I get home. Thanks for any input you can offer. BTW I have lightroom 2 and CS3 to work with.

| vignette her face in darkness and in defocus. it should kill the shadow that makes her dc visible. |

Will I sound really dumb if my response to this is HUH?

Yeah, that should do the trick perfectly, I've used it before too |

| Perhaps a quick fix would be to increase luminosity on the shadow? Can't try it now myself since I'm at work. |

Hey Matt,
Go here and you'll find many ways to reduce/fix a double chin using Photoshop. :D

| Do the portrait with the model facing UP a little. That way the double chin isn't as noticeable. |

Matt, try using the healing tool, a little at a time, in a vertical motion back and forth across the dark line on her chin. I tried it on the DPC-sized version and it worked fairly well - will probably work a lot better with the full sized version. You can then pick up the tint a little to one side and with a paint brush at a very low opacity, tone down the shine a bit in the middle of the chin.
Please note I am not a portrait photog OR portrait photoshopper, but its amazing what one will do to avoid cleaning the house... :-) |
