Figure 9-3: The Clone Stamp (lower left) covers wrinkles, whereas the Healing Brush (lower right) melts them away.

Dieting digitally

You can certainly use the Clone Stamp tool to reduce a bit of a bulge at the waistline or below an upper arm, but you might find it easier (and more natural-looking) to make a selection and rotate the outer edge inward a bit. Take a look at Figure 9-4. Although this subject hardly has what you’d call a “spare tire,” that bit of extra sticking out above her skirt isn’t particularly flattering. Make a selection with the Lasso tool that includes some of the background and some skin (or shirt or dress). Copy the selection to a new layer with +J/Ctrl+J. Press +T/Ctrl+T to enter Free Transform (or choose Edit⇒Transform⇒Rotate). Drag the point of rotation (the little crosshair symbol in the middle of the bounding box) to the top of the bounding box, and then position the cursor slightly outside the bounding box and drag to rotate. When you’re satisfied, press Return/Enter to accept the transformation and merge the layers with +E/Ctrl+E. (With complex backgrounds, you might need to do a little cloning to even things out.)
