How to fix an Overbite in Photoshop...
I almost had a shoot with someone that has an overbite...might get rescheduled. Anyway, it got me thinking. Do I just avoid big smiles, work the angles or what? I don't have any examples but thought it might be a good question to pose. Can anyone show before and after examples...and then explain what they did to 'fix' it in Photoshop? I'd like to see what the talents of MM have to offer up. Thanks!

Can anyone demonstrate what they might do? Feb 10 13 02:11 pm Link How bad is the overbite? Most people can position their jaw to compensate... now a underbite is a whole nother animal. Google overbites and find us a sample that is close Feb 12 13 03:46 pm Link OwenImages wrote: Don't seek a solution until you have a problem before you to solve. Feb 12 13 05:07 pm Link A lot of the technique in post to fix it will depend on the image. A profile will be a completely different approach to a straight on and neither way would work for a higher or lower angle with a head tilt. There is no one single way to fix it that works on every image no matter the differences. Some might work best with a cut and paste with a bit of scaling or warping while a different angle has to be done with liquify or some simple shading. Without seeing the image, no way to even begin suggesting how to fix it. Also, as stated above, depending on the severity of the overbite you might be able to easily fix it with lighting and camera angles combined with a bit of make up.

Tough to have a discussion on the topic without an example, I agree! Feb 15 13 07:20 pm Link Owen, if I had to reconstruct her head, I wouldn't bother. I think though it's the uniqueness from one individual to the next that would in/un-inspire me to pick the subject to begin with. Feb 17 13 07:34 am Link double. Feb 17 13 07:35 am Link Feb 18 13 01:46 pm Link 'I am a professional' (only has 1 pic on his port) or so it states on Owen's port notes ! Feb 18 13 01:54 pm Link Did you check out the OP's website? It would appear the the OP is primarily a sports photographer, hence the lack of model photos in his port.

Owens port is most likely under personal maintenance. Feb 18 13 04:02 pm Link Had another thought on this... why are you worrying about fixing the overbite? You haven't even checked with the client on changing their natural looks. Could insult them by doing it Feb 20 13 03:47 am Link Sentimental-SINtimental wrote: Never said I would, just got me thinking about it from a learning stand point is all and what techniques might be tried depending on the angle etc...and thought it would be a different topic than the normal stuff repeated here every week...and since there are some talented people on here I thought someone might have tried this before. Feb 20 13 08:01 am Link Overbites are sexy Feb 24 13 06:34 pm Link Shoot the model as they are or recast. Edit, by that I mean Paying = shoot as is Personal project = recast Feb 24 13 06:43 pm Link it's part of a personality... Feb 27 13 02:52 am Link |
