Ever wonder why all the professional models look so great? Photoshop comes with warping tools that allow you to manipulate your photos and, once it is mastered, allows you to add or subtract weight from your subjects, among other things. If you want 12-pack abs but don’t want to go to the gym all you need to do is figure out this amazing tool and you will fool even your mother.
Another tool is the smudge tool. This is another basic photo editing tool that you will use constantly. If you have a close up picture of your face or any face, and there are imperfections in the face such as scars, pimples and wrinkles, you can remove them with the smudge tool. This will make the subject’s face look smoother and also younger.
The lasso tool is another tool that you will find very amusing. What this tool does is let you select a particular part of the picture and let you cut it. For example, if you are standing in your bedroom, you can easily select your whole body in the photograph with the lasso tool and cut it. Then you can paste the object you cut on another background, such as behind the Arc de Triumph in France or behind the famous windmills in Netherlands.
There are also great effects that you can use on your photographs. Just go to the filter menu and you will find different effects that you can put in your photograph. For example, if you want your photograph to look as if it was painted with watercolor, you can easily do so by selecting the water color effect on the filter menu in the artistic sub menu.
You can even insert text on your photographs if you want with the text tool. With this, you can put some captions in your photograph. Also, there are tools that you can use that will be able to remove the things that you don’t like to be included in your photograph. For example, a trash can, a stranger posing behind a great group picture of your family or friends, or you can even erase someone in the group that you don’t like.
