Making My Boys Smile in Photoshop :)
Wanna hear the story of how I made my boys smile in Photoshop? This last Mother's Day my wife wanted nothing more than a picture of all of us together on Mother's Day.
We don't get dressed up much, in fact with my wife being a stay at home superheroine and me working in the dungeon, we find ourselves in pajamas (my wife would clarify that they are house clothes) more often than not. We made a very deliberate attempt at church to get a shot of us all dressed up (well, outside clothes for all intents and purposes).
My boys, they didn't provide us with a smile, so I made them smile in Photoshop. They may learn their lesson in the future :)
In today's tutorial, I will show you how to get creative with your anti-smiling children and make them learn to enjoy the snap-happy Mom moments all at the same time! If this doesn't put a smile on your face today, I don't know what will. I needed to lighten things up after last week's post :)

I normally don’t like silly stuff but that’s a genuinely funny video... Very good 😂

[@f64Academy]

:) Thanks! Hey, every once in a while I need to lighten it up around here. Especially after last weeks video, phew!

[@ivandavis721]

Great Blake. You have really brightened up my day. Cheers mate.

[@MrMoonpie001]

There ya go!!!! One real creative way to get them to cooperate! Moonpie

[@f64Academy]

Indeed!!!

[@rodshelley1170]

Well, you really made ME smile! LOL

[@volodymyrn8460]

Just in time! Replaced eye blink =) Blake got one question. Saving my photos in cloud and want them to take less space. There is an "EXIF thumbnails" in metadata. The jpeg with it is about 6.5MB, 1.7MB with EXIF thumbnails deleted. Can't find where those thumbnails is used. See no difference in PS. Maybe you can tell if those data is needed and where it is used? Thanks!

[@humblepie3472]

Good one Blake!

[@SN2Driver]

You’re hysterical, Blake! Love it!

[@f64Academy]

:) thanks! I have too much fun when I dont have a boss to tell me no

[@actionphotopassion5082]

This one was so nice and so funny. I had seen the trick of ctrl for free transform for some astrophotography layers alignment. I better understand it now in your tutorial 👍

[@f64Academy]

:) awesome! I had some fun for sure!

[@godfatherjack]

Hahaha!!! this is one of the best tutorials i have seen! We definitely might have a new trend!

[@f64Academy]

yes!!! A smiling movement!

[@Hansca]

Made me smile!

[@f64Academy]

Mission accomplished!

[@pixrun5388]

Can I do this in my cc 18 version

[@f64Academy]

I don't know. Open it and try it ;)

[@ottersphotography304]

I was waiting for you to put your smile on your wife! Hahaha fun video Blake.

[@f64Academy]

Haha, yeah she got a kick it off that one

[@shlomoeshet8525]

FUNtastic!

[@speterlewis]

This video totally made me smile. Now, if I could only grow facial hair (my wife's been teasing me about this for almost 40 years).

[@esmatmorshedy1248]

That was cool and cheerful Blake, Keep the smile ;)

[@f64Academy]

hehe, will do :)

[@dunnymonster]

The joys of Photoshop, seamless edit 😁

[@f64Academy]

Haha, so much fun! Needed something lite after last week's video, for sure!

[@Retset]

Should have used/saved this tutorial for 1st April Blake!

[@f64Academy]

No time like the present!

[@prachuyya]

You can revert to the legacy constrain transform behavior. Just create a text file with the content TransformProportionalScale 0, and save it as %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 Settings\PSUserConfig.txt, or on a Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC 2019 Settings/PSUserConfig.txt

[@f64Academy]

Thanks! That just makes it harder for me to teach though because I have to call out my moves. If I reverse it and forget to mention that, then I will confuse those who are following along. I really appreciate this, though!

[@FamilyReunionPhotography]

Hilarious!

[@Casereaper]

Great vid make more

[@f64Academy]

Thanks, I've been making videos for 10 years, stick around a while, more are coming.

[@Casereaper]

@@f64Academy ok I well and God bless you

[@amitabhmukherjee4954]

Very funny

[@Frostbite12211983]

Did you ask your sons if they noticed anything weird about the picture?

[@f64Academy]

Lol, they were pretty annoyed 🤣

[@Frostbite12211983]

@@f64Academy I would've laughed.

[@saralarayn]

Let’s say you have one great family photo, but a few kids aren’t smiling. If you have another photo.. same lighting & placement but they are smiling, could you grab the smile from that photo and paste it to the original photo you like of everyone else?

[@f64Academy]

Sure could, I would use a similar method to this one, but I wouldn't make it look like this joke :)

[@saralarayn]

f64 Academy haha thank you!! Do you have a tutorial on how to do it for real?

[@gordroberts53]
