To use it, you'll need to be running <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/l\/dlXjD2w\" title=\"Learn more about Adobe Creative Cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photoshop CC<\/a>, and you'll want to make sure that your copy is up to date.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main parts to this new addition to the Liquify filter. First, we have new <strong>Face-Aware Liquify sliders<\/strong> which make reshaping a face both simple and intuitive. There's sliders for adjusting the size, angle and distance of the eyes. Other sliders for adjusting the height and width of the nose. Still more sliders for reshaping the mouth (including a person's smile), and even more for things like raising or lowering the forehead and chin, expanding or contracting the jawline, and adjusting the width of the face. As we'll see, all of these things can now be done simply by dragging sliders left or right.<\/p>\n<p>The Liquify filter also gets a brand new <strong>Face Tool<\/strong> which allows us to control the sliders simply by clicking and dragging directly on the image itself. The Face Tool even lets us do things that we can't do with the sliders, like adjust the cheeks, reposition the nose, and even move a person's eyes in different directions!<\/p>\n<p>Once we've covered all there is to know about using Face-Aware Liquify, we'll finish up the tutorial by learning how to use it not only with a photo of a single person, but also with group shots, and how we can easily switch between multiple faces in a photo to select just the one we need. There's a whole lot to cover, so let's get started!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<aside><p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n<section>\n<p>Here's an image I've opened on my screen.

But if we apply a filter directly to a normal layer in Photoshop, the filter will be applied as a <em>static<\/em> filter, which means we'll be making permanent changes to the image. A better way to work is to keep the filter settings fully editable, and we can do that simply by applying the filter not to a normal layer but to a <em>Smart Object<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>To convert the layer into a Smart Object, click on the small <strong>menu icon<\/strong> in the top right corner of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/layers-panel-menu-icon.png\" alt=\"Clicking the Layers panel menu icon. \" width=\"273\" height=\"237\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Layers panel menu icon.<\/div>\n<p>Then choose <strong>Convert to Smart Object<\/strong> from the menu that appears:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/convert-to-smart-object.png\" alt=\"Choosing Convert to Smart Object from the Layers panel menu. \" width=\"240\" height=\"168\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting \"Convert to Smart Object\" from the list.<\/div>\n<p>Nothing will seem to have happened to the image, but if we look again in the Layers panel, we now see a <strong>Smart Object icon<\/strong> in the lower right of the <strong>preview thumbnail<\/strong>. This icon tells us that the layer has in fact been converted to a Smart Object:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/smart-object-icon.png\" alt=\"The layer preview thumbnail showing the Smart Object icon. \" width=\"259\" height=\"198\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new Smart Object icon.<\/div>\n<p>Now that we've converted the layer into a Smart Object, any filter we apply to it will automatically be converted into a non-destructive <em>Smart Filter<\/em>, which means that the effect will remain fully editable even after the filter is applied. To apply the Liquify filter, go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen and choose <strong>Liquify<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/photoshop-liquify-filter.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Liquify filter under the Filter menu. \" width=\"263\" height=\"140\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Filter &gt; Liquify.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Liquify filter's dialog box, which is made up of the main <strong>image area<\/strong> in the center, a <strong>Toolbar<\/strong> along the left and a whole bunch of options in the <strong>Properties panel<\/strong> along the right. We won't be covering everything there is to know about the Liquify filter here. Instead, we'll focus specifically on the new Face-Aware Liquify features:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/photoshop-cc-liquify-filter.jpg\" alt=\"The Liquify filter dialog box in Photoshop CC. \" width=\"701\" height=\"391\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Liquify filter dialog box in Photoshop CC.<\/div>\n<h3>The  Face-Aware Liquify Sliders<\/h3>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, there are two new additions to the Liquify filter in Photoshop CC 2015.5; a new <strong>Face Tool<\/strong> located in the Toolbar, and a new set of <strong>sliders<\/strong> for controlling different areas of a person's face. We'll start with the sliders which are found in the new <strong>Face-Aware Liquify<\/strong> section of the <strong>Properties panel<\/strong> on the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-liquify-set.png\" alt=\"The new Face-Aware Liquify section in Photoshop CC. \" width=\"433\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new Face-Aware Liquify  section.<\/div>\n<p>At the moment (at least for me), the  section is closed. To twirl it open, click on the <strong>triangle<\/strong> to the left of its name:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/twirl-open-face-aware-liquify-set.png\" alt=\"Twirling open the Face-Aware Liquify options set. \" width=\"433\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Twirling open the Face-Aware Liquify section.<\/div>\n<p>When the Face-Aware Liquify section opens, we find four main categories, each targeted to a different area of the face. Starting from the top, we have the <strong>Eyes<\/strong>, followed by the <strong>Nose<\/strong>, then the <strong>Mouth<\/strong>, and then the overall <strong>Face Shape<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-liquify-options.png\" alt=\"The Eyes, Nose, Mouth, and Face Shape sections of Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"434\" height=\"263\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Eyes, Nose, Mouth, and Face Shape categories.<\/div>\n<h3>Eyes<\/h3>\n<p>Let's start with the eyes. I'll twirl the <strong>Eyes<\/strong> category open by clicking on the triangle to the left of its name. You can click the same triangle again later on if you need to close a category to save space on your screen. Here we find a series of sliders, each controlling a different property of the eyes. Again from the top, we have <strong>Eye Size<\/strong>, <strong>Eye Height<\/strong>, <strong>Eye Width<\/strong>, <strong>Eye Tilt<\/strong>, and <strong>Eye Distance<\/strong>. By default, the sliders are all set to a value of <strong>0<\/strong> in the center, which means they're currently having no effect on the image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-eyes-sliders.png\" alt=\"The Eye Size, Eye Height, Eye Width, Eye Tilt, and Eye Distance sliders for Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"432\" height=\"316\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The five sliders for the eyes (Size, Height, Width, Tilt, and Distance).<\/div>\n<p>All of the sliders in the Face-Aware Liquify section, not just for the eyes but also for the nose, mouth, and face shape,  share the same range of values. We can drag them toward the <strong>right<\/strong> to a maximum value of <strong>100<\/strong>, or we can drag them toward the <strong>left<\/strong> to a maximum value of <strong>-100<\/strong>. Dragging a slider back to the <strong>center<\/strong> will reset it  to <strong>0<\/strong>. Of course, each slider controls a different aspect of the face, so let's see what each one does.<\/p>\n<h3>Eye Size<\/h3>\n<p>The Eye Size slider increases or decreases the overall size of the eyes. If we drag the slider to the right, we make the eyes larger:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eye-size-100.png\" alt=\"The Eye Size slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"408\" height=\"223\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the Eye Size slider to the right.<\/div>\n<p>And if we drag the same slider toward the left, we make the eyes smaller:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eye-size-negative-100.png\" alt=\"Decreasing the eye size by dragging the slider to the left. \" width=\"408\" height=\"228\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the Eye Size slider to the left.<\/div>\n<p>Here's a comparison showing the effect that each setting has on the image. I'll use a similar comparison for each of the sliders as we go along. The image in the <em>center<\/em> shows the slider in its default <em>center<\/em> position (with a value of 0, where it has no effect). The version on the <em>left<\/em> shows the result of the slider when dragged all the way to the <em>left<\/em> (to its maximum value of -100). The image on the <em>right<\/em> shows the effect with the slider dragged all the way to... you guessed it, the <em>right<\/em> (to its maximum value of +100). So, left image = slider left; center image = slider center; right image = slider right.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don't need to drag the sliders all the way to their maximum values. Lower values will give you more subtle results. It's just easier for us to see the effect at the maximum settings, so that's what I'll use:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eyes-size-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Eye Size slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"705\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Eye Size = -100 (left); Eye Size = 0 (center); Eye Size = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Eye Height<\/h3>\n<p>The Eye Height slider  expands or contracts the eyes vertically. Drag the slider to the right to expand their height, or to the left to contract it. Again, here's a comparison of the effect, with the left image showing the result of the slider dragged all the way to the left at -100, the center image showing the slider in the center position at 0, and the right image showing what happens with the slider dragged all the way to the right at +100:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eyes-height-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Eye Height slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"705\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Eye Height = -100 (left); Eye Height = 0 (center); Eye Height = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Eye Width<\/h3>\n<p>The Eye Width slider expands or contracts the eyes horizontally. Dragging to the right expands their width, while dragging to the left contracts it. You'll notice as we go along that some of the sliders give us more subtle results than others, even at their max settings:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eyes-width-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Eye Width slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"705\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Eye Width = -100 (left); Eye Width = 0 (center); Eye Width = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Eye Tilt<\/h3>\n<p>The Eye Tilt slider  adjusts the angle of the eyes. Dragging to the right tilts the eyes down and inward, while dragging to the left tilts them in the opposite direction, making them look more &quot;droopy&quot;:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eyes-tilt-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Eye Tilt slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"705\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Eye Tilt = -100 (left); Eye Tilt = 0 (center); Eye Tilt = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Eye Distance<\/h3>\n<p>The Eye Distance slider  adjusts the amount of space between the eyes. Drag to the right to push the eyes farther apart, or to the left to bring them closer together:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/eyes-distance-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Eye Distance slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"705\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Eye Distance = -100 (left); Eye Distance = 0 (center); Eye Distance = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Nose<\/h3>\n<p>Next up, we have the <strong>Nose<\/strong> category with just two sliders, <strong>Nose Height<\/strong> and <strong>Nose Width<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-liquify-nose.png\" alt=\"The Nose sliders in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"408\" height=\"184\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The two sliders for adjusting the nose (Height and Width).<\/div>\n<h3>Nose Height<\/h3>\n<p>Both of these sliders are pretty straightforward. The Nose Height slider adjusts the length of the nose. Drag the slider to the right to shorten it, or to the left to make it longer:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/nose-height-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Nose Height slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"704\" height=\"240\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Nose Height = -100 (left); Nose Height = 0 (center); Nose Height = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Nose Width<\/h3>\n<p>The Nose Width slider expands or contracts the width of the nose. Dragging to the right makes the nose thinner, while dragging to the left makes it thicker:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/nose-width-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Nose Width slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"704\" height=\"240\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Nose Width = -100 (left); Nose Width = 0 (center); Nose Width = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Mouth<\/h3>\n<p>Next, I'll twirl open the <strong>Mouth<\/strong> category, where we find sliders for adjusting the <strong>Smile<\/strong> (more on that in a moment), the <strong>Upper Lip<\/strong>, <strong>Lower Lip<\/strong>, the <strong>Mouth Height<\/strong>, and the <strong>Mouth Width<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-mouth-category.png\" alt=\"The Eye Size, Eye Height, Eye Width, Eye Tilt, and Eye Distance sliders for Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"408\" height=\"265\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The five sliders for the mouth (Smile, Upper Lip, Lower Lip, Mouth Width, Mouth Height).<\/div>\n<h3>Smile<\/h3>\n<p>One of the more interesting sliders in the Face-Aware Liquify section is Smile, which increases or decreases the curve of the person's mouth. To increase it, bringing out more of a smile, drag the slider to the right. To decrease the curve and add more of a frown, drag  to the left:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/mouth-smile-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Smile slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"706\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Smile = -100 (left); Smile = 0 (center); Smile = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Upper Lip<\/h3>\n<p>Use the Upper Lip slider to adjust the thickness of the upper lip.

Dragging to the right will make the lower lip thinner. To make it thicker, drag to the left:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/mouth-lower-lip-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Lower Lip slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"700\" height=\"236\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lower Lip = -100 (left); Lower Lip = 0 (center); Lower Lip = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Mouth Width<\/h3>\n<p>The Mouth Width slider expands or contracts the mouth horizontally, making it appear wider (dragging to the right) or more narrow (dragging to the left):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/mouth-width-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the Mouth Width slider in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"706\" height=\"241\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Mouth Width = -100 (left); Mouth Width = 0 (center); Mouth Width = +100 (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Mouth Height<\/h3>\n<p>The Mouth Height slider will expand the mouth vertically by dragging to the right, and contract it vertically by dragging to the left.

You can also select the Face Tool by pressing the letter <strong>A<\/strong> on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/liquify-face-tool.png\" alt=\"The new Face Tool in the Liquify filter. \" width=\"78\" height=\"191\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Face Tool.<\/div>\n<p>When we select the Face Tool, Photoshop  draws a thin outline on either side of the face it detected. The outline appears even when there's only one person in the photo, but as we'll see later on, it's really more helpful when working on photos of multiple people, since the outlines tell us which faces Photoshop was able to detect (and which ones it missed):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-liquify-outlines.jpg\" alt=\"The face outlines in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"604\" height=\"531\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop outlines the targeted face, even when it's the <em>only<\/em> face.<\/div>\n<p>The reason we learned about the sliders before looking at the Face Tool is that the Face Tool really just gives us another way to adjust the sliders. The difference is, rather than dragging the sliders themselves, the Face Tool lets us click and drag directly on the image.<\/p>\n<p>If I hover the Face Tool over one of the eyes, for example, different <strong>handles<\/strong> appear. There's a round one above and below the eye, another round one on the side, a diamond-shaped one in the upper corner, and a dotted curved line along the outer edge. Similar handles would appear if I hovered  over the other eye:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-eye-handles.jpg\" alt=\"The Face Tool handles around the eye. \" width=\"553\" height=\"402\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Handles appear around the eye when hovering over it with the Face Tool.<\/div>\n<p>Each handle is linked to one of the sliders, and  dragging a handle has the same effect as dragging the slider. The round handles above and below the eye are linked to the <strong>Eye Height<\/strong> slider. Dragging either one adjusts the height of the eyes (the eyes will be adjusted together regardless of which eye you choose), and you'll see the Eye Height slider in the Properties panel moving along with you as you drag. To make it easier to see what you're doing, the handles fade away as soon as you start dragging, which is why they're not visible in the screenshot:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/drag-eye-height-handle.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the Eye Height handle with the Face Tool. \" width=\"702\" height=\"308\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the Eye Height handle moves the Eye Height slider.<\/div>\n<p>The  round handle on the side is linked to the <strong>Eye Width<\/strong> slider. The diamond-shaped handle in the upper corner controls the <strong>Eye Size<\/strong> slider. And if we click and drag on the curved dotted line along the outer edge, we move the <strong>Eye Tilt<\/strong> slider. If you have Tool Tips enabled in Photoshop's Preferences, you can hover your cursor over each handle and the name of its matching slider will appear. The only slider that does not have a handle associated with it is Eye Distance. <\/p>\n<p>Here, I'm clicking and dragging downward on the Eye Tilt handle (the curved dotted line), and not only am I changing the angle of the eyes, but we can see that the Eye Tilt slider has moved along with me. If you accidentally click and drag the wrong handle, simply press <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard to undo it:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/drag-eye-tilt-handle.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the Eye Tilt handle with the Face Tool. \" width=\"702\" height=\"308\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the Eye Tilt handle moves the Eye Tilt slider.<\/div>\n<p>Similar handles will appear when we hover the Face Tool over the nose. The handle on the bottom is linked to the <strong>Nose Height<\/strong> slider, while the handles on either side control the <strong>Nose Width<\/strong> slider:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-nose-handles.jpg\" alt=\"The Nose Width and Nose Height handles for the Face Tool. \" width=\"500\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Nose Width (left and right) and Nose Height (bottom) handles.<\/div>\n<p>Hovering the Face Tool over the mouth displays handles for adjusting the various Mouth properties. Drag either of the round handles on the sides  to adjust the <strong>Mouth Width<\/strong>. The curved dotted lines along the left and right edges control the angle of the <strong>Smile<\/strong>. Raise or lower the <strong>Upper Lip<\/strong> by dragging the curved line directly above it, or the <strong>Lower Lip<\/strong> by dragging the curved line below it. The Mouth Height slider does not have a matching handle, so for that one, you'll need to drag the slider itself:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-mouth-handles.jpg\" alt=\"The Mouth handles for the Face Tool. \" width=\"504\" height=\"342\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The various Mouth property handles.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, when we hover the Face Tool closer to an edge of the face, we see various handles for adjusting the <strong>Face Shape<\/strong> properties. The handle at the top raises or lowers the <strong>Forehead<\/strong>, while the handle at the bottom raises or lowers the <strong>Chin Height<\/strong>. The two handles on either side expand or contract the <strong>Face Width<\/strong>, and the handles in the lower corners adjust the <strong>Jawline<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-shape-handles.jpg\" alt=\"The Face Shape handles for the Face Tool. \" width=\"500\" height=\"516\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Face Shape handles.<\/div>\n<p>Here, I'm dragging the Face Width handle on the right to widen the face, and we see the Face Width slider in the Properties panel moving as well:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/linked-face-width-slider.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the Face Width handle moves the Face Width slider. \" width=\"702\" height=\"248\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Another example of how the handles and sliders are linked together.<\/div>\n<h3>More Face Tool Adjustments<\/h3>\n<p>The real benefit of the Face Tool is that, along with being able to adjust the sliders by dragging directly on the image, it also opens up additional areas that we can adjust; areas that are not accessible with the sliders. But this is also where things can get  weird pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if we hover the Face Tool directly over an eye, notice that the cursor changes into a four-point <strong>directional arrow<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-directional-arrow.jpg\" alt=\"The Face Tool direction arrow. \" width=\"501\" height=\"388\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hovering over certain areas turns the Face Tool cursor into a directional arrow.<\/div>\n<p>Whenever we see this directional arrow, it means we can click on the area and drag it around freely in any direction. In this case, it means we can move the eye around. But unlike the sliders which adjust both eyes at once, the Face Tool actually lets us drag both eyes separately from each other, in any direction:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-drag-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the eyes in opposite directions with the Face Tool. \" width=\"405\" height=\"404\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging one eye up and the other eye down, just because we can.<\/div>\n<p>The same directional cursor appears when we hover the Face Tool over the nose, which means we can click and drag the nose in any direction. Here, I've dragged it down and to the right:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-drag-nose.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the nose with the Face Tool. \" width=\"401\" height=\"399\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the nose with the Face Tool. Lookin' good.<\/div>\n<p>You'll also see the directional cursor when you hover over the left and right cheek, the mouth and the chin, each of which can be freely reshaped:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/cheeks-mouth-chin.jpg\" alt=\"The cheeks, mouth and chin can all be reshaped with the Face Tool. \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The cheeks, mouth and chin can be moved just like the eyes and nose.<\/div>\n<p>When used for subtle adjustments, the Face Tool can work wonders. But it can also get out of hand pretty quickly, as we see in this before (left) and after (right) comparison:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A before and after comparison of the Face Tool. \" width=\"704\" height=\"357\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">How to impress absolutely no one with Face-Aware Liquify.<\/div>\n<p>There's a few things you can do if things start to go wrong. To undo your last step, press <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard. To undo multiple steps one at a time, press <strong>Ctrl+Alt+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Alt+Z<\/strong> (Mac) repeatedly. Or, as we learned earlier, you can instantly revert the face back to its original state by clicking the <strong>Reset<\/strong> button above the sliders in the Properties panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/reset-button.png\" alt=\"The Face-Aware Liquify Reset button. \" width=\"408\" height=\"156\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Reset button.<\/div>\n<h3>Applying Your Settings<\/h3>\n<p>When you're happy with the results, click <strong>OK<\/strong> to commit your settings and close out of the Liquify filter:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/ok-button.png\" alt=\"The OK button in the Liquify filter. \" width=\"417\" height=\"150\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the OK button.<\/div>\n<h3>Editing Your Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Way back at the beginning of the tutorial, before we even applied the Liquify filter, we first converted our image into a Smart Object. We did that so we could apply Liquify as an editable Smart Filter. Now that we've applied our settings and closed out of the Liquify dialog box, if we look in the Layers panel, we see Liquify listed as a Smart Filter below the image.<\/p>\n<p>If we need to make further changes, all we need to do is double-click directly on the filter's name:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/liquify-smart-filter.png\" alt=\"The Liquify Smart Filter in the Layers panel. \" width=\"259\" height=\"228\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-clicking on the Liquify Smart Filter in the Layers panel.<\/div>\n<p>This re-opens the Liquify filter with all of your current settings, allowing you to easily make whatever changes you need:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/photoshop-cc-face-aware-liquify.jpg\" alt=\"Editing the Face-Aware Liquify settings thanks to the power of Smart Filters. \" width=\"703\" height=\"392\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Editing the Face-Aware Liquify settings thanks to the power of Smart Filters.<\/div>\n<h3>Working With Group Shots<\/h3>\n<p>At this point, we've covered everything we need to know about using the new Face-Aware Liquify feature in Photoshop. We've learned how to adjust the eyes, nose, mouth and overall face shape using the various sliders in the Properties panel. We've also learned how to adjust the same sliders by clicking and dragging directly on the image with the Face Tool, and how we can use the Face Tool to freely move and reshape other areas as well.<\/p>\n<p>Up until now, we've been using an image of just one person, but Face-Aware Liquify also works with photos of two or more people. Here's a group photo that I've downloaded from <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/l\/me41ML5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adobe Stock<\/a>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/friends-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Face-Aware Liquify works just as well with group shots. \" width=\"643\" height=\"432\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Face-Aware Liquify works just as well with group shots.<\/div>\n<p>As soon as we open a photo like this one in the Liquify filter, Photoshop analyzes it looking for faces. It then draws those thin outlines that we saw earlier around each face that it detects (you'll need to have the Face Tool selected to see the outlines). Note that if someone's head is turned too much to the side, or they're on some sort of weird angle, Photoshop may not be able to detect their face, in which case you won't see the outlines around it. With this image, though, it had no problem with anyone:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-liquify-face-outlines.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop draws outlines around all of the faces it detects in the photo. \" width=\"644\" height=\"432\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop draws outlines around each face it detects in the photo.<\/div>\n<p>To switch between faces, use the <strong>Select Face<\/strong> drop-down menu above the sliders (directly to the left of the Reset button). Select Face is only available when more than one face is detected:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/select-face-option.png\" alt=\"The Select Face option in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"417\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Select Face option.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop  lists the faces from left to right, so the person on the far left of the photo would be Face #1. The person directly to their right would be Face #2, and so on. In my case, there's five people in the photo, so I'm seeing five faces to choose from in the list:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-aware-select-faces.png\" alt=\"Choosing a person in the photo with the Select Face option. \" width=\"182\" height=\"97\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Five people in the photo, five faces in the list.<\/div>\n<p>Or, an even faster way to select the  face you need is to simply click on it with the Face Tool. To select the woman in the  lower center of the photo, for example, all I would need to do is make sure I have the Face Tool selected, and then click on her face:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-tool-select-face.jpg\" alt=\"Selecting the woman in the center by clicking on her with the Face Tool. \" width=\"643\" height=\"432\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking on the woman in the center with the Face Tool.<\/div>\n<p>Since she's the third person from the left, the Select Face option automatically switches to Face #3. I could now make whatever changes I need without affecting anyone else's face in the image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/face-3.png\" alt=\"Selecting the woman in the center by clicking on her with the Face Tool. \" width=\"417\" height=\"141\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the woman in the center by clicking on her with the Face Tool.<\/div>\n<p>Finally, we already know that we can instantly revert a face back to its original state by clicking the <strong>Reset<\/strong> button above the sliders. But if you've made changes to multiple faces and need to quickly undo all of them at once, click the <strong>All<\/strong> button instead:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/cc\/new-features\/2015\/face-aware-liquify\/reset-all.png\" alt=\"The Reset All button in Face-Aware Liquify. \" width=\"417\" height=\"195\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click Reset to undo  changes to a single face, or All to reset all faces at once.<\/div>\n<aside><style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div><\/aside>\n<p>And there we have it!
