The reason why I mention that is because the video about the skills may have actually been done that way. The model may have been what the finished piece was, and they reversed it and made her fat. We will never know. You know, just to make a point.

I guess if you are working with a model that you don't like you could always add a couple of hundred pounds to them.

The one time I did something like this was for my family's holiday card last year. I knew we'd have double chins because of the high angle of the shot - the camera was on the ground and the statue was behind and far above us. We don't normally have double chins when we're not looking almost straight down.

It was a fun project, and took every ounce of my editing skills, because each double chin took slightly different techqniques (mine was basically hidden by my beard, so I didn't edit myself). :)

Photo retouching has it's place, and when used properly,
can significantly change a picture without altering the person itself:

or you can go full-blown and then some:

I need to get some posable wax figures as models. They would talk back less, they wouldn't get cold, and they would always be happy with the shots.

And they don't pop up every 5 seconds to see what you just shot.

That's why I've used my daughter's giant Barbie head:

Uh, Brad? I know I'm getting older, so my visual acuity is starting to slip, but those are the same shots. :P

LMAO
That's OK, I'm old and can use that as an excuse.
Maybe I was just testing everyone - right......
:P

I agree with juniemoon, looks like he started with the thin image, made it fat then reversed it.

The original looks far better if you ask me.

hmmm. advanced editing, and barbies. A nerds dream come true. ;)

It doesn't look like from that video they addressed detail problems that liquidfy will cause when applied that heavily. So I'm guessing the quality of that final transformation isn't too good when viewed at something better than a thumbnail size. However, I'm always amazed at what some people find acceptable with retouching so it probably was just fine for the client.

I still think this rocks in a weird way. It is cool.

I'd like to see what a full size version of that image looks like. Every single time I've used the liquify filter I have totally munged the image. I'm like a bull in a china shop. I've learned it's best to simply stay away. I would like to see it in person and in real time. Some day maybe.

It probably just looks a bit plastic.
