A very small change needed in the image

[darsh17]

Hello guys,
I have posted this topic in wrong thread previously. sorry for that.

I have an image attached below. I want to join the lines on top & bottom. but I need the shape & curve to remain same.
I Also need the thickness gradually decreasing at the end just like it is currently there.
Thanks a lot

The Pen Tool would be the tool for drawing the shape you're looking for. Here is an in-depth tutorial about the Pen Tool…

If you wanted to learn the Pen tool, the tutorial mentioned above is very good. But I did one anyway. Do you mean like this?

Re-drawing a heart from scratch (ie, using the pen tool) will, as suggested, clearly be the best approach - it is quite simple to do and will give you the highest quality results.

However, if you are not familiar with the pen tool, you can also get the ends to touch without re-drawing it. Use one of the selection tools (say, quick mask) to select one of the red areas, make a copy of it on its own layer, fill in the area that it used to occupy with white, and then use edit/transform/warp on the new layer to make the ends touch.

Unfortunately, this will almost certainly distort the shape in ways that you will find unacceptable (eg, it now looks more like an apple than a heart), may add either a blurry edge or stair-stepping artifacts (depending on exactly how you do it), etc., and you'll have to spend even more time fixing the problems you just created.

Attached is a version done using this method, but I don't recommend it.

HTH,

PS - I also cleaned up the blotchy reds (that don't occur when you use the pen tool)

Is this what you are after I was not sure what you ment by "join the lines on top & bottom"? Either way its pretty easy to do with either the Liquefy tool or the Puppet Warp tool. For the liquefy tool you will want to select one of the red sections, expand the selection a bit, then invert the selection. Now open the liquefy tool adjust the lines using the drag (push?) tool.. For the Puppet Warp tool, select the white area and delete it (create a duplicate layer first and turn of the background layer), now launch the Puppet Warp tool and place a number of pins in areas you do not want any movement. Then pin the tips of one of the line segments and adjust the tip. A bit of experimentation will be called for here as placing the pins correctly can be a bit tricky.Of course you can use both tools as I did in the attached. I did the top with the Liquefy tool and the bottom with the Puppet Warp tool.


Or, do the following. Clear the white background (unlock the layer), select one of the red lines, then nudge it into place. Finally flatten the image to get the white background back. This would be the easiest way to accomplish what I have done in my attachment below (or possibly above as well), but may not be exactly what you are after. The following is what I accomplished using this last method along with a bit of a touch-up at the top with the Liquefy tool to close the slight gap left after nudging the lines into position.

No problem, you are welcome, from all of us.

Sorry folks, I know I should not care but am sleep deprived at the moment.

Thanks a lot everyone. You guys solved my problem. I have used Liquefy tool it solved the problem pretty well.
