You can see it here www.campaignforrealbeauty.com

In the advertisement they airbrush a woman phot and make her neck longer and they make her eyes bigger.

What program can i use to do tthat?

Photoshop can certainly handle that type of mod.

paint shop pro can do all of that, at least from version 9 and up. not sure about 8 or 7. take a look at the warp mesh tool in the tool bar.

The video and campaign are about real beauty not the PS manufactured type.

Too many girls and women are falling ill and dying to achieve the state of "perfect" beauty and too litte attention is paid to the true beauty within the girl is what the campaign says to me.

I don't have 7 but it is in PSP 8 and up. (I own PSP 5, 8, 9, and X. Not entirely happy with X's bugs. I have to go back and forth between 9 & X)

Try this:
Right click on your menu bar and choose customize -> scroll down on the left side and click tools -> scroll down the right side and look for warp brush and/or mesh warp.

It is possible it is already on your tool bar in the deform tools.

This link to a tutorial was posted on another thread which I can't find right now.

That's great to know because I have PS CS2, but not PSP. What is PS's equivalent to PSP's "warp mesh tool"? I've tried Free Transform but it throws a rectangular outline around the selected area, and when a corner of the rectangle is dragged, the side of the selected area on the opposite side gets dragged, too (though not as much) and ends up getting torn away from the non-selected area.

Maybe try Filter-> Liquify

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Just use the good old Transform

littlemike · #14 10-26-2006, 03:43 PM

1. I looked at your online portfolio. I want to be you when I grow up.

2. When I use the transform tool, it creates a rectangle around the area I have selected. When I tug on one corner of the transform rectangle, that moves like I want it to, but side of the selection opposite the corner also gets tugged in the same direction (though not as much), causing it to tear away from the non-selected area. I hope this description makes sense . . .

You need to select around the area you wish to stretch, feather it at about 5, then do COMMAND / CONTROL J to copy the selection to a new layer. Then do the transform so that you can rub back to the original underneath.
