3 - To adjust size of any part of face (e.g. big nose), adjust to your liking with Liquify filter. Click Filters menu and choose Liquify. This tool allows you to smudge, move, squish, and even distort your image according to your satisfaction. For best results and easy navigation, turn grid on. This will let you view changes you’ve made. For increasing or reducing size of area, you can also use Warp, although Pucker and Bloat are most effective with this type of retouch. Remember to be careful and again, do not be afraid to experiment. Use appropriate brush size and go slowly, moving bits at a time. 4 –To smoothen skin, use cloning stamp and carefully apply to skin. The best would be to use multiple clicks rather than strokes to even out skin tone. This is part where you need to be patient. Be careful with your patterns and do not repeat.

The "Finders" themselves are offered a basic reward of £10 gift pack of Want it Bak Labels. Additionally finders may also receive gift vouchers, shop discounts, trial packs and much more. Customers may also offer an optional CASH reward to Finders as a thank you to person for taking time to contact Want it Bak. Want it Bak organises Couriers to pick up and delivery directly to you your lost item. As a customer of Want it Bak you are only charged if an item is lost. No ongoing monthly subscriptions or fees. Just a basic Administration charge when an item is found of £25 which includes next day courier delivery UK wide. A small price to pay for return of your personal items. “This service is invaluable” say Russell Lewis of Chelsea, an actual benefactor having signed up from start. “A few weeks back while travelling home in a Black Cab I left my portfolio containing vital customer information and demonstration CD-ROMs. It would of taken me weeks, if ever at all, to redo everything. Before end of day Want it Bak had taken a call and I had arranged for it to be sent straight back to me. This is an amazing service, it was all so easy.” So how did we go with our test? Well Want it Bak claim an 80% return rate, which works out to about 5 out of 6 items. It seems Londoners are more honest that we thought. The camera was found by someone in Hyde Park and within hour Want it Bak had taken call and arranged return. When originally registering this item we had offered £50 cash reward to finder. The “finder” Sam, an office worker was very impressed “I was out walking at lunch time and came across camera just sitting there. Having personally lost my camera while holidaying in Greece earlier in year I knew how annoyed owner would be. The Want it Bak labels were visible enough and probably prompted me more to right thing than if they hadn’t been there. The whole process only took me a couple of minutes when I got back to office. Want it Bak arranged a time for courier to come and they picked it up from me at work. Few days later my reward and £50 cheque turned up in mail. Fantastic.” The PDA & Blackberry were also found by good Samaritans and returned. In fact only thing still outstanding was rucksack left in a Starbucks, strangely enough least expensive of 5 items. No doubt cause of a police call out during these troubled times. The mobile phone turned up a couple of days later. No bad 4 out 5. Well done London. Like most things these days there are no guarantees of course, but just knowledge that for a small price you can have an additional type of insurance that works when you need it to. www.wantitbak.com for more information.
