This technique is popular, on the one hand because it works well, on the other hand because almost everyone likes to look thinner than the actual 10~15 pounds. Perhaps the most difficult part of this technique is not to tell customers to use the technology.
First step:
Please open the portrait photo that needs to be slim. Press Ctrl-a (MAC:COMMAND-A) to select the entire picture, and then press Ctrl-t (MAC:COMMAND-T) to turn on the free transform function. The free transform handle may be difficult to reach, so I recommend that you drag the lower-right corner of the image window and expand the window a little bit. This will show some gray canvas areas, making it easier to crawl the free transform handles.
Step Two:
Grab the middle lever on the left and drag horizontally to the right, making people slimmer. The farther you drag, the slimmer you become. How much of a drag is appropriate (that is, how much can you drag without leaving any cosmetic traces in the photo)? This can refer to the W (width) field in the Options bar, and drag at 95% (or even like me to 94.7%) is safe, leaving no cosmetic traces.
Step Three:
When a person looks "naturally" slim, press ENTER (Mac:return key) to lock the transform. This transformation leaves too many white canvas areas on the canvas to the left of the picture, so when the selection border is still in place (which comes from the first step), go to the Image menu, select Crop, and remove the white space. Press ctrl-d (mac:command-d) to cancel the selection, and this is done.
