Making Thin Lips Fuller

[Kraellin]

in psp 9 it's in the toolbar down the left side, 2nd one down, right under the pan/zoom tool.

Ok I found it.
Now for the newbie PSP question. How do I put a selection in a new layer.
When I used the freehand selection tool to select the lips and then went > Edit/copy > Edit/copy> paste as a new layer
it put the lips in the middle of the head of the image
Is that how PSP works or is there a better way to make a new selection and put it on a seperate layer?

Also, how small can you make the mesh? Mine is stuck at 31 by 31

I used a soft round 17 pixels brush.

Tere are a few tutorials for the liquify tool that I found doing a google search. Here's a video tutorial. I'm not sure it's any help though.

Great job cyber cat!

I did indeed use a small brush.
What tool should I have used? There are several to choose from... I now know BLOAT doesn't work! LOL

Is that ctrl+j in Paint Shop Pro 8?

Ok I think I know why my mesh squares are bigger. I am working on a 150dpi image that is significantly larger than the JPG and PSD I posted here.

Will tinker with the mesh some more. It's very cool. Wish Photoshop had something like this.

[deadants]

It would be great if the mesh in the liquify filter had anchor points, but I'm using Photoshop CS Is it in CS2.

How do I put a selection in a new layer.

in the 'selections' menu, pick 'promote to new layer'.

as for the mesh, i never used psp 8, but it shld be similar to 9. and, you shld therefore have some adjustments up below the menu bar, maybe, that allow you to change the scale of the mesh. if you look at that one picture i posted of the mesh, i think you can see the horizontal tool bar for that. you can alter the vertical and horizontal size.

I just upgraded to CS2.. but I don't see anchor points or how to activate them in liquify...

I see the 'show mesh', but it's not the same as PSP with the points that you can move.

OK the gid is fairly easy to use in Liquify. Set the mesh size to large and use the Forward warp tool (that's the poining finger at the top of the tools pallet.

Hey Craig, This is like duelling banjo's

Wow! This is great. Nicer to use the same program to do this.
I am assuming I can use the Freeze tool to freeze the bottom portion of the lip while pushing the top one?
Gonna play some more.
My eyes are starting to bug out a bit looking at these darned lips all night! LOL

[deadants]

Yes, select the freeze tool paint over the area you don't want warped and do your adjustment. Then use the thaw mask tool to erase the freeze mask when your done.

Ok I did another very quick pass using this new knowledge you have shared with me tonight!

Not perfect by any means, but at least now I get the concept.
I'm also gonna try Cyber Cat's method.

But for now... I must sleep!

[creeduk]

Using CS2 Warp (edit>transform>warp) First put the top lip on a new layer and then transform that layer. See images of the warp.
