Newbie needs help with images

[Kay]

Hi! I'm Kay from Tennessee and I'm a total rookie when it comes to Shop.. [excited]
I've been meaning to learn ever since I got CS2 9 but now I MUST learn because I'm creating this whole 'artsy' Scrapbook for a friend that's moving to Europe. I need to make some people look skinny and some others look fat.

How do I do that??? ;\

I need help... thanks.

EDIT: ok, I figured out how to make'em fat by liquifying, but I can't figure out how to make'em skinny. Basically I need the opposite of this http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=1735

Welcome, Kay.....when you open up the liquify filter look to the left and there is a squeez or "pucker" tool, use that to shrink parts of your image.

Thank you, Patrick.

Cool, thanks.. But let me ask y'all something.. How do I get rid of a double chin though? ;\

You can get rid of a double chin by using the clone and healing tools. It might take some work though, and starting over before you get the hang of it.

OK, well, I'm getting the hang of it allright, I modified a pic already, but on this one I need to make the lady in the center skinny, not REALLY skinny, but like 30 lbs lighter.. How can I do that??

Thanks, Patrick, you're great.

Well, basicly you just need to go lighter on the liquify. Go slow and whenever you make a mistake, just press ctrl+alt+z. You can also adjust the brush pressure and density over to the right.
