Photoshop Tutorials- Liquify Tutorial – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Since my last video post I have gotten loads of requests to do a liquify tutorial.

I didn’t know exactly where to start so I made a quick 12min video showing you how I would liquify a photo. Obviously this is an extreme case. I don’t liquify my clients to this extent but it’s a tutorial and I thought it would be fun to take it a little further than I normally would. 

There are lots of fun ways to use the liquify tool. You can use it for making people skinnier, you can use it to enhance eyes, and you can also use it to help someone smile. ;)  

In the video I mention that I have a tablet and the tablet I have is the Wacom Intous 3  and I believe it is 6×9 I don’t think I could live or liquify without this tablet. I heart it big time!  

Have questions? Leave them in the comment box and I will answer you as best as I can and I swear my voice isn’t as nasally as this in real life. HA! I couldn’t even listen to my own voice without being completely embarrassed.

    Wow That was very impressive. Well done!!
    Thanks so much for the tutorial. I really appreciate it. Maybe I need to give my tablet a second chance, I never learned how to use it well, but seeing what you are able to do may make me try again.
    THANK YOU for taking the time to create this tutorial!

    Fabulous! Thanks! I use liquify often for the same purpose. However, I have not figured out how to do some skin shrinkage such as for a sagging neck/ folds of skin. I found a function in liquify that would shrink/tighten skin, but it was difficult to manage. Any ideas?

    Thanks Ashley! That was a rockin’ tutorial! You’re making me want to get a tablet now! It looks like it’s so much easier to liquify with one!

    This is a great tutorial! I don’t liquify often but when I do (with track pad) it is nowhere near as pretty as this! Another nudge to get a tablet. :)

    Hey Ashley! Great video. Love all your tutorials… you know, except for how I end up being sucked in for an hour watching them, but whatever ;)
    Quick question… which Tablet do you recommend?
