Retouch Breasts in Photoshop

As far as beauty and glamour postprocessing goes, retouching (usually meaning enlarging) breasts in Photoshop is probably one of the most requested topics for video tutorials.  There are several ways to alter the look of a woman’s breasts, from increasing their size, to enhancing cleavage (with a little help from the burn & dodge tools), to changing the way they hang relative to her body (with the free-transform tool).  Here are three video tutorials that demonstrate how to use the liquify filter in Photoshop to retouch breasts:

Breast Enhancement: Photoshop Retouching

How to enlarge breasts in Photoshop…no surgery required! In this tutorial, you learn a clever, natural-looking way to enhance a woman’s breast size in a photo. In my opinion, it’s probably the best breast retouching video out there, and is targeted towards Photoshop CS4 users (but will basically still work the same on CS3).  The actual enlargement is made with the liquify filter, and several tools within it (forward warp tool, reconstruct tool, and bloat tool). He really stresses small tips that help make the result more natural, and how to fix small artifacts that may make the enlargement appear odd.  This video tutorial doesn’t detail much about how to enhance a woman’s cleavage (explained in videos below), but it is probaby the best tutorial on breast retouching in Photoshop out there.

Photoshop: Breast Enhancement

Howard, from tutcast.com demonstrates quite simply how to enlarge a woman’s breasts in Photoshop CS4.  It’s a bit more comical & light-hearted than the first video tutorial, so some people may enjoy watching it more.  He starts off with a woman in a white bikini,  enlarges her breasts quite significantly, and then demonstrates a clever technique to enhance the look of her cleavage by burning & dodging.  The before & after shots demonstrate his retouching technique works quite well.

Enlarge Your Boobs for Free!

This video is about boobs!  Yes, boobs!  (Watch the tutorial and you’ll understand.  I think he says “boobs” over fifteen times.)  It must be difficult to make a video tutorial demonstrating breast enlargement without being comical.  Either way, it’s another demonstration to show how easy it is to make breasts bigger with the liquify filter.  Unlike the previous two videos, the narrator doesn’t use a supermodel, or some super-hot babe as his test subject, proving that the technique works on normal people too.  Despite his comical approach, it’s a good video, and he applies a tasteful, conservative breast enlargement to the model in the photo.

There you have it, some of the video tutorials that show you about breast retouching in Photoshop.  Although they’re geared towards Photoshop CS4, many of the same concepts will still be the same if you use CS3.
