Many of us would love to have long, slender fingers, as it’s a common insecurity. Topping those off with elegant fingernails is a bonus. And with the Reshape tool you can delicately extend your digits, although we recommend using the light effect brush to get tapered fingers versus claws.

Surreal Art

When you’re feeling artsy, create your own abstract art with Reshape. Any photo can be used and taken in a Van Gogh or Picasso-esque direction. For the former, get experimental with landscapes to emulate a whimsical style. And for the latter, any portrait can be turned into your own Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.

Hair

Struggling with volume? Reshape comes to the rescue, while you continue the quest for the perfect volumizing products. Lift your hair lightly at the root or go for a full-on blown-out look. The light and heavy application options work well here, to get the right amount of lift.

Sculpture

Manipulate the objects in your photos using the Reshape to bring out your inner sculptor. The options are endless and can be applied to earrings, vases or even topiary. As a bonus tip, you can freeze the area behind the object you’re trying to manipulate so it doesn’t get warped. This makes for a more seamless edit.

Body Modification
