Editing out a double chin?

12 years 7 months ago #149879 by Office Guy
One of my client's photos as a very noticeable double chin showing in their portrait I took. I didn't notice this when I was taking the shot. But now it's editing time and I'm trying to figure out how to remove. Any thoughts? LOL is there any software that will do this for me? Portrait Professional?

Cropping close would rid the chin, aside from that I'm all ears too. My missus doesn't like her chin

There are a few tools in Photoshop that could fix it, but do you really want to do that? We are what we are, you could wind up making this person look like Joan Rivers, and that would be worse than any double chin.....:)

Why so serious?

As the owner of a double chin, I'd like some tips as well. So far the only solutions I've been able to find involve diet and exercise...which is helping quite a bit but doesn't do anything for pictures that have already been taken! :rofl:

As effron mentioned, you can use some tools in Photoshop, including liquify - but use this carefully and check out some good tutorials on it first! Or if you have CS5 and are lucky enough to have a good background behind the face/chin, you might be able to work some content-aware magic to remove it.

Yes double chins suck!! But the client is going to notice if their very noticeable double chin is gone. If you use the liquify tool nudge very carefully.:huh:
