nice tutorial. until i watched this, i always thought that the liquify tool couldn’t be used because it overly distorted pixels.

Yet another great tutorial! FYI, in the beginning you pronounced “Wacom” as “Way-com” and it’s actually pronounced “Walk-um”. I notice a lot of the graphic designers I know mispronounce it. Obviously not a biggie, just thought you’d like to know!

because liquify is a processor intensive operation, and also because you will get some pixel stretching regardless, it should be one of the first things you do. afterwards, continue with the skin clean up, etc.

Sean, In the photoshop process where do you use liquify. Example: A head shot. Normal editing then reshape the face?

“I can’t shoot level hand-held if my life depended on it.” – Hahaha!!! Same here! Very good tutorial. I use liquify all the time for every little thing and it’s nice to see an actual informative tutorial about it.

You and Lee grow a decent beard but Sean Armenta is real sick nasty with the photography and practical retouching. Now to be honest, I would spend $150 on his tutorials. Maybe Fstoppers can do something like that. Its not often a person that works with major clients like Wet Seal so frequently help others.
