You can change the head position in Photoshop using the Face-Aware Liquify feature. This allows you to adjust facial features, including tilt and direction, relatively easily.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Open your image in Photoshop.
-
Go to Filter > Liquify. This opens the Liquify workspace.
-
In the Liquify dialog box, locate the "Face-Aware Liquify" tools. If your Photoshop version is older, it might be called "Face-Aware" adjustments within the Liquify filter. Newer versions may automatically detect faces.
-
Photoshop should automatically detect faces in the image. If not, manually select the face you want to modify.
-
Within the Face-Aware Liquify properties panel, you'll find controls to adjust various aspects of the face. Look for sliders related to:
- Tilt: Adjusting the head's vertical angle (tilting left or right).
- Angle: Rotating the head. This allows you to change the direction the face is looking.
-
Adjust the sliders until you achieve the desired head position. Pay attention to the overall image and make subtle adjustments to maintain a natural look.
-
Click "OK" to apply the changes.
Important Considerations:
- Subtlety is key: Avoid extreme adjustments, as they can easily look unnatural.
- Image Resolution: Higher resolution images will generally produce better results, especially when making more significant changes.
- Photoshop Version: The exact name and location of the "Face-Aware Liquify" feature might vary slightly depending on your Photoshop version. Refer to the provided Youtube video or Adobe Photoshop documentation for version-specific instructions.
