Here's the history behind this picture.
This is my mother. When she was 4 years old she was sitting to close to one of those floor heaters and her pj's caught on fire. They got the fire out (thank God) but not before it burned her entire right arm, neck, chest, legs ect. We tried to do some poses that didn't show her arm and then I could cover up her scars a little with photoshop, especially on her neck. After I finished with her pictures I called her and said come see!! She said what? did you give me boobs? LOL But then I got to thinking about it. The burns were so bad on her chest that she never developed. I know she said it jokingly but i thought "idea". The only problem is I don't know how. I've done some photoshop work on this picture but I'm posting it untouched so ya'll can work your magic.
JK - sorry to shorten (but JenkiesLuv it's easier)
image opens rather large, but your chopping is good, too be honest, the original is fine, and she certainly looks happy in the "camera". Well done to your mother.
Forgot to add - images are very good
would hope to get as good one day _________________ -----------------------------------------------------
I agree with Dave, I like the original but you've also done a great makeover. The only thing I'd have done is put back some of the wrap which has got blown in the chopping.
I have never done a boob job in Photoshop so discovering the transforming and warp tools was a bit of an adventure as was sussing out quite what to do. I am sure there are very sophisticated things that these tools can do (this is Photoshop after all), so this is probably the numpty version. I selected the area I wanted to affect, I didn't want to distort the cloth on the far right, but rather concentrate on the area over her right breast (trying for a subtle increase in bust line rather than a bosomy matron), so left that darker fold out of the selection. I then went to Edit > Transform > Warp. by dragging the handles I was able to increase her bust somewhat, but the light on the cloth was not right so using the burn tool I added some shadow to try to give a natural roundedness to the area. I don't know that I got there, but see what you think.
Edit: I didn't think that one looked right so there's another below.
Just having a tidy up
Anything to do with Photoshop / editing of pictures will be in Creators Corner.
The other post to do with Lighting is also in there.
Had to split the original introductory post of yours and i think it may be under my name now (sorry just where it split)as a lighting question.
