If you’re using a smart phone’s camera, you have to be wary that because of the size of the camera lens, you’re going to get a lot of distortion. Instagram doesn’t let you fix that.
Before: Auto Warp Distortion
After: Adjusted in Photoshop CS2
So I had to use a combination of Spherize and Warp tools in Photoshop CS2 to get it looking somewhat like me. I know I’m not that pudgy. The ideal is to match how your eyes see yourself in the mirror.
I know after tinkering with it in Photoshop, it made my forehead longer, but it looks closer to reality at least.

I know I’m late to the game, as I’ve only recently upgraded from Photoshop CS1 to CS2 (don’t ask). But, wow, I’m loving the new Warp Tool.
Photoshop CS2 warp tool demo
It’s not a complete retouch, and Lea’s head looks floaty, but this is just a quick demo. I also used Liquify > Pinch tool to remove the skin underneath the jaw. I had no idea how to do that before.
Well, looks like I have lots of images to salvage. Some masterpieces to come.
