Step One:
In Lightroom, click on the image you want to retouch and then press Command-E (PC: Ctrl-E) to open it in Photoshop. Here, we’re going to reduce his
jaw area and jowls.

Step Two:
Get the Lasso tool (L) and draw a very loose selection around the jowl area that you want to reduce (as shown here, where I zoomed in a bit tighter just to
help you see the area I selected better). I avoided selecting his chin because this technique would make it smaller, as well. If you want that, go ahead and
select the chin area, too, but in this case, I think his chin itself looks fairly proportional to the rest of his face. Now that our selection is in place, let’s soften
its edges to help hide the fact that we did a retouch by going under the Select menu, under Modify, and choosing Feather. When the Feather Selection
dialog appears, enter 10 pixels and click OK.

Step Three:
Now, go under the Filter menu, under Distort, and choose Pinch. When the Pinch dialog appears, drag the Amount slider to the right to the point where it
reduces the jowl area, but without looking too obvious. In this case, I chose 58%, but depending on your subject, you might need to use more or less—it all
depends on the photo. Unfortunately, this filter doesn’t show you an onscreen preview. So, to see a quick before and after of what the filter is doing, take
your cursor and click-and-hold right inside the preview window (as I’m doing here) to see the before, then let go to see the after. Click OK, and the Pinch
