We will start off by enlarging the breasts and for this we will use the Liquify dialogue box and from this we will choose the Bloat tool. Once you have the Bloat Tool selected you will need to adjust the brush settings, we will go for a rather big brush size in this case around 400. Set the brush density pretty high as well whereas the brush height is up to your liking. Once you have your brush settings done click and hold around the area you want to enhance. Click OK to accept the changes.

Now that we have enlarged the breasts we will give them some depth by using the Burn tool. Choose the burn tool from the left sidebar and at the top at the settings select midtones and set the exposure at 20%. On Photoshop CS4 check off the protect tones.

Once done that go to the cleavage area and burn the area there slightly. Finally take the Dodge tool select midtones and exposure again around 20% and paint right next to the area you burnt before to lighten it up and add more depth, until you get the desired effect.

Once you have Ellipse tool selected choose a neutral grey colour from your colour palette, like 50% grey, and simply draw your droplet. You can make the shape of your drop more elliptical using the Direct Selection Tool and the Pen tool or just leave it round to keep things simple.

We need next to start applying some layer styles. For this we will change the blend mode to Overlay.

Bring up your Layers Styles dialogue box by double clicking on the blank area of your layer.

We will start from the top and add some layer styles:
1. Drop Shadow, set the opacity to 15% and the angle to 90 degrees and choose the second from top left contour option.
2. Inner Shadow, and again opacity 15% angle 90 degrees.
3. Inner Glow, blend mode multiply and colour to black the opacity to 20%.
4. Bevel and emboss, style inner bevel, depth 100%, angle 90 degrees and altitude to 70. The highlight mode normal with white colour increase the opacity to 100% and shadow mode to overlay with white colour and 90% and click OK.

The result of these adjustments should look like this:

The last thing we need to take care of is to distort the background image behind the droplet. To do this go select your background layer and hold down ctrl and then Filter->Distort->Ripple and adjust the settings to your liking and hit OK. Once you have your first water drop you can easily adjust the size and feel of your drops.

This tool can be found on the Healing tools. Click on the Healing tools icon but instead of an instant click, click and hold your cursor. After a moment you will see a fly over menu popping and at the bottom the Red Eye Tool. It is a super easy tool, simply hover your cursor over the red eye and click! What it does is sampling the colour around the red eye and replacing the red pupil with a matching natural colour, from the top toolbar menu you can set how dark you want the pupil colour to be, 50% is an average colour with 100% being super dark and 0% quite light.

With laso tool selected start drawing the outline of the teeth. Use the shift key to correct the parts of the teeth you have missed and expand the selection. When your selection is ready zoom out and hit ctrl+alt+D, this will open the Feather Selection dialogue box, and choose to feather this by 1 pixel. This way you will avoid the rough edges on your selection.

In order to whiten the teeth select the Curves Adjustment Layer, on the diagram that will open put your pointer in the middle and the input about 135 and the output to 132. So using the laso, then feathering the selection and using the curves adjustment layer is a quick way to whiten the teeth on the models of your images.

On our example picture there is an unwanted piece of trash at the left of the image. We want to get rid of that but without giving the image a fake appearance.

What we need is the Clone Stamp tool, this will allow us to choose a sample from our image such as the grass in the background and paint that over another location on our image.

Once selected move your cursor to a clean area of your image near the item you want to remove and press and hold the alt key and click. Now that we have the sample we can begin painting over the unwanted item. As you paint using the Stamp Tool you will notice that the object is replaced with the pattern of the area you selected earlier. Every now and then you may need to reselect an area to use as pattern so that the result will not look very canonical.

With some practise and a little time you can easily perfect this method.

But don’t be too disappointed. With some good photography skills and a little digital editing, you can create great looking pictures on your own. In this tutorial we’ll look at how you can fix your make up after the pictures are taken. This is called airbrushing in the digital editing world. We’ll start with a picture of a girl, note that her face has some blemishes that we’ll need to fix to make her skin smooth and silky.

Open the picture that you wish to edit in Photoshop. Create a duplicate layer start working with that. Photoshop has a very useful tool which is called “spot healing tool” to remove spots from skin. Use it to remove any obvious spots. Dont’ worry if you couldn’t remove all of them, we’ll get to them a bit further down in this tutorial. To achieve a soft skin look, we will use the filter Noise -> Dust & Scratches, keep the radius just enough - making the skin look soft and graded, don’t care about the eyes.

Now we will do further removal by bluring the image. Use the Filter Blur -> Gaussian Blur with a radius around 3 depending on the size your image. Tweak to find the right value.

Also, make sure to add a natural look. To do this we’ll put a uniform noise to the picture. This is achieved using Filter -> Add Noise, use the settings below:

Our skin is ready, now we need to graft it on the picture. Make sure you’re on the skin layer. Add a layer mask to it. Fill the mask with black color using the paint bucket. This will hide your skin layer and the original picture will appear. Select the brush tool and start painting over the skin with white color. Your new smoother skin will start appearing as you paint. Paint only the skin part leaving the eyes and the lips intact. To check out what you have painted, change the blend mode of your masked layer to ‘difference’ and the opacity to 75%. You can now clearly see what part has been painted and what haven’t.

Once you are finished with painting the skin. Turn back the blend mode to normal and the opacity to 100%. Here’s the results that you should see at this point:

The skin has improved drastically without losing any detail on the places which matter - like eyes and lips. Here’s the before and after picture, take a closer look at the details:

Using this technique you can improve your pictures without spending on expensive make up products. It’s reasonably easy to implement and looks great! Hope you enjoyed it.

Here’s another airbrush technique.
