PSP X3 "thinify"

[caspia1]

I need assistance, please!
Is it possible to thinify just one part of an image without having to do the whole thing?
Example. A fat person next to a thin one. I want to make the fat one less fat.......
I could use the warp tool but it is bit messy.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

The only way I know to do that is to isolate the heavier person on their own layer and then thinify them. This will work better with some images than others; a lot depends on how close together the two people are and how "busy" the background is, etc.

You can set Thinify to low Strength, in the attached I used 10.
There is always a chance the thin person next to the less thin one will put on a bit of weight, but if you click in the middle of the fatter person and use the low strength you can get some good results.

I don't know if the Smart Carver tool exists in PSPX3, but in X5 it's another option to try.

Obviously, a small amout of touch-up is needed, but at least it's mostly within the main subject so that cloning, etc., will be easier.

@ photodrawken - Yes, it is on PSP X3 via IMAGE > SMART CARVER

I usually use thinify for the less complicated and with some help with the warp tool for those with a lot of complication.
