With the Liquify tool in Photoshop on the web, you can easily push, pull, rotate, reflect, pucker, and bloat any area of an image.
The changes you make can be subtle or drastic and are ideal for retouching images or creating a whole new artistic effect.
I'd like to make a few changes to this fellow in this group shot to reduce the wrinkles on his sleeve and some of his hair.
I'll start with his sleeve.
In the tool area, I'll click on Retouch, then on Liquify, which reveals a series of options here on the left.
I did a little experiment earlier and I know that the Warp tool works really well for this example.
I'll click on it.
Then in the advanced settings, I'll reduce the size of my brush and pull back the pressure just a bit.
Small, subtle changes work really well when you're retouching an existing image.
That's looking really good.
Next, I'll move on to his hair.
Notice that when I start to pull his hair in, it also distorts the building on the right.
That's okay.
I can easily combine the liquify effect with other tools in the application.
I'll undo that change, and back in the main application, I'll select just his hair and face.
Now when I switch back to the Liquify tool, Photoshop will automatically create a selection mask allowing me to change just the image within the selection without that distortion around it.
Now, obviously there's so much to explore with the Liquify feature in Photoshop on the web.
I encourage you to give it a try.
