I taught myself morphs about 3 years ago, but there are a few areas I struggle with:

- When making a large "surrogate" morph, how do you make the connection (upper chest) fit onto the original image but not look squished and shrunk?

- How you "enlarge" and picture without a surrogate, either with transform or liquify? Every time I try the resolution and shape suffers

- How do you overlay translucent or opaque clothes so that they "fit" the layer below; goes with the curves, plunging necklines etc.  I try a few different techniques but without consistent results


Any help is greatly appreciated

liquify, if it is used by itself, changes shape and scale but distorts the pixels and the natural tonal modulation of the form. if you use liquify, first use the pen tool to draw an outline of the shape you want to use the effect on then copy and paste it into a new layer and liquify that layer - that way, the boob form can be shaped without everything around it in the photograph being distorted as well. when you have the shape the way you want it, then lock the pixels on that layer and start using the paint brushes with feathered edges or download additional brushes and use the color sampler to match your paint with the local color of the picture. practice a lot and look for tutorials on youtube to pick up photoshop tips

Just posting this in case it's of interest to anyone.

Somethings to help:

Transform. (Hold down the Command (Mac) or Control (PC) and drag a corner to access further power.
Warp is great, too ( Edit > Transform > Warp )
Or Puppet Warp ( Edit > Puppet Warp )

And all in all, an "artistic appreciation" for the tools' usefulness — don't expect a "push button" answer.
