Step
1: Here’s a great tip when
you want to make your daughter’s
fish a little bigger than
normal. I’m doing this in
Photoshop LE on a Mac, but
it’s the same for a PC |
 |
Step
2: First off, let’s select
the fish.I used the Lasso
tool--it’s a quick and easy
way to select a simple object,
especially with the Wacom
pen. A quick tip--hold down
the option or alt key to select
straight lines, and let up
on it for curves. |
 |
Step
3: Once you have your fish
selected, use Edit--Transform--
Scale. Click, hold and drag
on one of the corner handles
to scale it to the size you
need. In this case, I’m going
for the “Look, I caught a
shark!” size.. Holding down
the Shift key while you do
this keeps its size uniform. |
 |
Step
4: This looks pretty good--I’ll
hit the Return key to make
it happen. |
 |
Step
5: One last finishing touch--use
the pressure sensitive Smudge
tool to gently smooth the
edges to give it a realistic
look. By the way, this tip
works if it’s Dad ’s fish
that’s a little too small,
as well… |
