Wow lots of questions, I will answer what I can. I have CS2 but
not Lightroom. In Photoshop you need to learn how to use masks! That is the
most important tool for me. Always make a copy of ur original image!
To make people skinnier there are several tools you can use.
-look carefully at ur shadows & highlights, this will show you where the fatty folds are. Example; on a double chin the second chin is catching light that you wouldn't catch if there was no double chin, so you need to make the second chin fade into the shadows. -use the clone stamp tool to replace the double chin with the shadows from the neck. -Always check the opacity of the type of tool you are using, you will hardly ever need to use it at 100%, it is too harsh -you can also use the liquify tool to make a person look skinnier. follow this link to see an article on this. http://rangefindermag.com/magazine/Nov06/showpage.taf?page=70 Whiter teeth is easier. (layers pallet shows small pic of ur image) -copy ur image (on the layers pallet drag ur original image to the icon that is second from the right on the bottom) or Ctrl+J -On the layers pallet at the top left change the modes to ''screen'' this brightens the picture a lot, don't worry we're not finished. -place a reverse mask on the picture (hold Alt & click the icon that is second from the left on the layers pallet) you won't see the screened imaged anymore. -select the erase tool, six down on the left of the tool bar or type ''E''. - right clck to select ur brush size, use a soft one with fuzzy edges. At top of screen change brush opacity to 100% (one of the times you will use 100%) - zoom in Ctrl++ (Crtl & the plus sign) now move the picture around to view the teeth. - make sure you are working on the mask, should have a white outline around it. -make sure the top color of the two colors is black (type''D'') -Now erase the teeth. if you mess up & erase part of the lips then click on the white color swatch on the tool pallet or type ''X'' to switch the color swatches & erase over the part you weren't suppose to erase. (that is why the mask is so great, if you erase too much you can always switch ur color & bring back the part you didn't want to erase) -now zoom back out to full view (Ctrl+- zooms out slowly, Ctrl+0 zooms out to full view) -Lower the opacity of the ''screened'' image to zero & slowly raise it while looking at ur picture till you are satisfied with it. (opacity is on the top right of ur layers pallet) - Merge ur layers (Crtl+E) & make a copy (Crtl+J) of the layer if you are doing more editing, so you can always go back if you mess up. -Once you are finished merge all ur layers (Crtl+Shft+E) & save ur image If you are doing a lot of editing you will want to save ur work frequently as a PSD file withou merging the layers. Sorry that was so long, but I wanted to walk you through every step, hope it helps. -For older try the Sharpen Filters & maybe grain -For younger make a copy of original pic apply a light Gaussain blur to the copy from filter menu click the mask icon to add a white mask use the erase tool with the white color swatch selected & erase the eyes & mouth to make them more sharp -you can also try the reduce noise filter along with the gaussain blur filter just play with the filters a lot for different looks To save pics online you want to resize the pic: -(Alt+Ctrl+I) to bring up image size menu -make sure that all three boxes at bottom are checked, scale styles, constrain proportions, resample image -resize the image probably no more than 4x6 inches & the resolution at 72 pixels/inch -save image as a new picture (I usually save with the same name then_LR to show that the image is Low Resolution) Remember where you save ur picture! -on the website you want to upload to you have to find the button that lets you upload pictures, then you click browse & find the place you saved you picture.
You can do all these tasks ,but its trial and error learn by
the hands on approach.Read your manuals and dont be affraid to give it a
try
Photoshop can do all the things you are asking about. Youhave
to learn how to use it. No one can give you all the in this kind of
format.. Go to Borders, or Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com. Look for
''Photoshop CS2 for Dummies'' by Deke McClelland. He will walk you thru
it all in plain English. Photoshop has a rather steep learning curve,
you're going to have to invest some time to learn to use it.....
