Remove Bulge Distortion [CS3/4]

[Elliot]

To start out i would suggest that you get familiar with the liquify tool. Play around with it on some photos because you will need to know how it behaves to do this without hassle. The other tool that you will need is the Pinch tool which can be found at Filter>Distort menu.

ETA - 30min

First start by taking the pinch tool and removing as much bulge as you can.

Then take the liquify tool and straiten out and lines as well is fix the eyes and head portions.

If one eye turns out strange than take a sample of the other eye and copy it. then go to File>New and paste it there. Then go to Image>Transformation>Flip Horizontally and then paste it back into the main photo. Now place it where you here you find it looks the best and use the Eraser tool and trim the new eye a bit. And when you have done that take the Blur tool and go around the edges to give it a more natural look. This process can be repeated on the shirt or hair if needed.

Keep in mind that this will vary for every photo.

Here is a video of me going through the whole process of fixing the picture.

And here are the before and after photos.


I needed to do some more work on the eye but i had to leave it like it was to save time.

Neat. Too bad there's nothing you can do about the background messing up.

Have you seen the new features in CS5? There are sneak speaks, looks promising...

Who's that in the picture?

That is Arti in the picture. And i haven't heard of the new features in CS5, I already almost went bankrupt buying Cs4.

And you can fix the background but i was just doing the basics so the videuld not be to long.

Oh you can? Interesting.

Well, CS5 has a lot of sweet stuff that might help speed up things in situations like these.

Yes I bought it, I do graphic design professionally and most times when hire you for a job they ask for a product key to prove that you bought it instead of pirating it.
