Specific Remove person and small edits

[stephaniejoy17]

Could someone please remove my friend from the background of the picture? And also make my stomach look thinner?

Thank you!

I am not a professional, but gave it my best shot. This was a personal challenge and I am sure others will do a better job.

I made a try.

About your belly, I basically played with lights to reduce the volume and move a little bit the pants, but being honest you are sitting forward and have almost nothing to remove... it would look fake and weird to remove all volume in that posture...

Here's my attempt.

Both are great looking edits and make my attempt look like what it is. A beginner learning Photoshop. Thanks you for the tips. I believe there is a lot of practice/art involved in learning the right way to utilize all of the available editing tools. The nice thing is this site provides lot of requests/challenges that I would not likely every run into with my general family and travel photos.

Don't forget that one way to get better is to to utilize the General Ps Board to ask questions. While it can provide you with some practice material, the free edit forum is not the place to learn. When you're stuck and making the same mistakes over and over, it's nice to have a place to ask for advice.

Thanks for pointing out the Gerneral PS Board. I will start there.
