How To Get Rid Of Double Chin In Photoshop: A Step-By-Step Guide
Double chin can be a source of insecurity for many people. While there are exercises and treatments that can help reduce a double chin, not everyone has the time or resources to pursue them. Fortunately, with the help of Adobe Photoshop, it’s possible to get rid of a double chin in photos. This article will guide you through the process step-by-step.
Step 1: Open the Image in Photoshop
The first step is to open the image in Photoshop. You can do this by clicking on ‘File’ and then ‘Open’ in the top menu bar. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+O’ (Windows) or ‘Cmd+O’ (Mac).
Step 2: Duplicate the Background Layer
Next, you need to duplicate the background layer. To do this, right-click on the background layer in the Layers panel and select ‘Duplicate Layer’. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+J’ (Windows) or ‘Cmd+J’ (Mac).
Step 3: Select the Lasso Tool
Now, select the Lasso Tool from the Toolbar on the left side of the screen. It looks like a lasso or a rope. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘L’ to select it.
Step 4: Draw a Selection Around the Chin
Using the Lasso Tool, draw a selection around the chin area of the image. Be sure to include any double chin in the selection. You can adjust the size and shape of the selection using the cursor and the ‘Shift’ key.
Step 5: Refine Edge
After making the selection, go to the top menu bar and click on ‘Select’ and then ‘Refine Edge’. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+Alt+R’ (Windows) or ‘Cmd+Option+R’ (Mac).
Step 6: Smooth the Edges
In the Refine Edge dialog box, use the ‘Smooth’ slider to smooth out the edges of the selection. This will make the transition between the chin and the rest of the image look more natural. You can also use the ‘Feather’ slider to soften the edges of the selection.
Step 7: Output Settings
Under the ‘Output Settings’ section of the Refine Edge dialog box, select ‘New Layer with Layer Mask’ from the ‘Output To’ drop-down menu. This will create a new layer with a layer mask based on the selection.
Step 8: Click OK
Click ‘OK’ to apply the changes and create the new layer with the layer mask.
Step 9: Adjust the Layer Mask
Select the layer mask in the Layers panel. It should be next to the new layer you just created. Use the Brush Tool to refine the layer mask by painting over any areas that need to be hidden or revealed. You can adjust the size and opacity of the Brush Tool using the cursor and the ‘[‘ and ‘]’ keys.
Step 10: Merge the Layers
Once you’re satisfied with the layer mask, select both layers in the Layers panel and click on ‘Layer’ and then ‘Merge Layers’ in the top menu bar. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl+E’ (Windows) or ‘Cmd+E’ (Mac).
Step 11: Use the Clone Stamp Tool
Now, select the Clone Stamp Tool from the Toolbar on the left side of the screen. It looks like a rubber stamp. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘S’ to select it.
Step 12: Sample a Clean Area
Using the Clone Stamp Tool, sample a clean area of the image by holding down the ‘Alt’ key and clicking on the area you want to use. This will set the source for the Clone Stamp Tool.
Step 13: Paint Over the Double Chin
With the source set, use the Clone Stamp Tool to paint over the double chin in the image. Be sure to use a brush size and opacity that match the surrounding area. You can adjust the brush size and opacity using the cursor and the ‘[‘ and ‘]’ keys.
Step 14: Use the Healing Brush Tool
Next, select the Healing Brush Tool from the Toolbar on the left side of the screen. It looks like a bandage with a paintbrush. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘J’ to select it.
Step 15: Sample a Clean Area
Using the Healing Brush Tool, sample a clean area of the image by holding down the ‘Alt’ key and clicking on the area you want to use. This will set the source for the Healing Brush Tool.
Step 16: Paint Over the Double Chin
With the source set, use the Healing Brush Tool to paint over the double chin in the image. The Healing Brush Tool blends the source and destination areas together for a more seamless result. You can adjust the brush size and opacity using the cursor and the ‘[‘ and ‘]’ keys.
Step 17: Use the Patch Tool
If the double chin is particularly pronounced, you may need to use the Patch Tool to blend it in with the surrounding area. Select the Patch Tool from the Toolbar on the left side of the screen. It looks like a patch or a bandage with a dotted line around it. You can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘J’ to select it.
Step 18: Draw a Selection Around the Chin

Step 19: Drag the Selection to a Clean Area
With the selection made, drag it to a clean area of the image using the cursor. The Patch Tool will blend the selection with the surrounding area for a more seamless result.
