Liquify or something...help!

Bend The Light

The lady on the right doesn't like her hips in this photo...she would like it shrinking.

I have tried messing with the liquify stuff in CS6 but struggle with it. Anyone prepared to show me how it's done, by tutorial or written instructions? I can't seem to follow the instructions I have seen on some tutorials, so if you know of a good one, I'd live to see it.

Link to full size...don't worry about the background, I can deal with that.

It may be worthwhile to learn the liquify tool, but the simpler way to solve
the problem is to use any selection tool (pen, lasso, quick mask) and carve
out a section of that hip. Then, clone from the area beside the hip into
that selection making sure to bring in that horizontal line where the two
background materials meet. By cloning in an area of a selection, you will
clone only in that area.

I did this too quick and dirty to get a smooth edge, but it shows results
of the surgery:



The advantage is that you can make several different versions very easily
to show the lady just how much weight she can lose.

Thank you Tony. I will try that. In the meantime I did have another go with Liquify...
