in this video i'm going to show you how
to take off this double chin
and turn it into this image in just
a couple of minutes let's get started
to start off with removing our double
chin from the image
the first thing you're going to want to
do is choose the
pen tool over here inside of the pen
tool it has a couple of modes
we're right now on the shape mode i'm
going to change this from
shape to path because i don't want to
draw in a shape
and i'm going to use this path to select
the chin that i want to leave in the
image
actually there are two chins in here and
i'm going to
leave only one chin so let's get a bit
closer with commander control
plus and scroll down
and over here what we're going to do is
we're going to start
selecting our chin i'm going to add one
point
over here and the second point in the
middle of my chin
drag the pen tool until i get a nice
curve
that represents the chin and
up here next to the ear i'm going to add
another point and you can see it
almost is complete you can play around
with it
take in mind that this selection is
really important because this is
actually
the part that's going to be left in the
image so
you might need to try this a couple of
times until
you get the correct proportion inside of
the image
great so we got our chin selected now
i'm going to zoom out command or control
minus
and the next thing i want to do is just
take my selection
out of the artboard so click
once outside of the artboard
and go around the whole art board
until you meet the start point of your
path
and click on that perfect so we got the
first
part done second part
is to go into window
paths and over here we can see the path
that we've just created i'm going to
give this a name because we're going to
need to reuse it
later on so i'm gonna call it
chin perfect and click ok
right click on your path and click make
selection
okay now we can close this and open the
layers panel if you don't have a quick
icon over here you can always access any
panel from
window and clicking layers right now
our image is like a background image
as you can see right here we want to
create it into a layer so double click
on that
and click ok perfect so we have our
selection
and what i want is to make this
selection into a new layer so i'm just
going to click
command c command or control c command
or control
v and what it does it just paste it in
place
only the selection is now pasted in
place
over our original image if i close the
original image you can see
that only this part is left
perfect next thing i'm going to do is
turn that back on go back to my original
layer
open the path window again
and click on the selection we've created
right click on it again make selection
now notice over here that my feather
radius is
three you can also play around with this
it will make the edges softer
or harder meaning and that it will look
like
a cut i'm using feather radius three
because
it suits my image resolution and the
fact that i have a beard over here
so three or two or one would be okay
zero i think is too small but you can
play around with this as well
and i'm going to click ok now right now
we have the same part selected
which is not what we want we want to
select an inverse
of this part that we've selected earlier
so what i'm going to do is going to the
select in the menu
and i'm going to click inverse
this inverts our selection and now we
have the upper
part selected over here
we can close the paths right now and i'm
going to make sure i'm standing on the
original layer
and as we did before commander control c
command or control
v to paste in place right now we have
actually two parts we have
the lower part and the upper part
we can also give these names so for
example this is going to be the upper
part
and this is going to be the lower part
now what's important is that the lower
part will be
under the upper part so i'm going to
drag it
underneath the upper part and we can
click back on all of the layers
to turn them back on now what we're
going to do
to eliminate our double chin is use the
warp tool so
standing on the lower part i'm going to
click command or control t
right click on that and over here
we have an option for warp
inside of the warp you have all sorts of
grids
that you can use right now it's on
default i'm going to change this to
4x4 which splits my image
into 4x4 now i'm going to use the mouse
to start adjusting and pushing up the
lower chin
under the upper chin so look how cool
that is i'm just stretching inside
my parts of my image
and you can play around with this until
you get the exact
result you need over here it's also
really
important to play around with this so we
have something that looks realistic i
mean you don't want to cut off
too much but right now you can see it's
looking really really good
and it's blending in nicely because we
had a good
feather over here
i'm gonna click enter to save my
image and maybe later on you're going to
need to fix some parts you can do that
with liquify or also with warp
and stuff like that but as you can see
we got an amazing result
in just a couple of minutes now i want
to just show you before
we finish off this video a comparison
between the two
to show a quick comparison what you can
do is
open window history and over here you
can make a snapshot of your
current file so i'm going to click on
that once
and if i go up and over here we can jump
between
both modes and you can see what an
amazing difference we achieved in just
a couple of minutes with double chin
