Remove Cellulite?

[merdman]

Can someone tell me exactly what the steps are to remove cellulite from a woman's body in an image. I would be incredibly grateful. Thanks.

I have used the clone tool and the blur tool on seperate occations for this type of thing.

Try the blur tool on a small area first and see what you think.

To help visualise what you are doing open a second copy of the window and keep it at 100%. use the other one to zoom in and do the fine detail.

When I did this I started to acchive an over all skintone not too far from the actual tone of the subject.

The healing brush is also good for this.

Select it from the toolbar (icon looks like an elastoplast). On the tool options bar at the top left of the screen, click the arrow next to the 'brush' settings. This gives you a dialog to adjust your brush size. Also make sure that the hardness of the brush is set to 0%.

Then position the cursor over a good area of skin, hold the ALT key down and click with the mouse (This samples the good skin area), then release the ALT key and click on the area of cellulite. After every couple of clicks press the ALT key again and re-sample a good area of skin.

The clone stamp is operated in exactly the same way. Try a few methods and see what works best.

I too like the healing brush but incase you have an early version of PShop the clone tool works well too.

Your e-mail says the alterations were made with the airbrush tool.

I rarely use the airbrush tool but after seeing the before after pics I believe I could the same much easier with the healing, patch and clone tools either separately or a combination of all three.

I would personally start with the patch tool.
Pick an area of smooth non wrinkled skin and dab over the wrinkled areas.

the airbrush can be used to create light shadows to "smooth out" the results.

There are many tutorials on the patch tool, look for a "quicktime" or other movie type for examples.
