Liquify Filter - Bloat & Pucker The Liquify Filter can be used to alter images for effects and correction. Bloat will expand or increase an area while Pucker will retract or pinch an area. These tools are often used in the fashion industry to reduce waist sizes and elongate necks and legs. Step One: Open the image and select (1) Filter > Liquify from the Photoshop Menu. Note: The use of the filter features will be applied to the image layer selected, i.e. they will not create a new layer. If you want to preserve a copy of your layer without the auto changes, right-hand click on the layer and select Duplicate Layer....

Here is an example of the Liquify Bloat and Pucker effect applied to a cat's eyes, mouth and nose area.

Here is an example of the Pucker Effect applied to a fashion photo to make the model's legs appear longer.

Puppet Warp with Content Aware Fill The Puppet Warp can be used to reposition parts of an image to make adjustments or corrections. The tool uses pins as anchors to stick parts of the image to the workspace while you use other pins to manipulate the image. It is a great tool for moving the position of arms/hands, the tilt of a head, the angle of a tree branch or as you can see in this in this tutorial the size of a hair-do. In this tutorial we will use the Puppet Warp with Content Aware fill to preserve the background image under the object we want to move.

Step One: Open the image and using the (1) Quick Selection Tool carefully select object you want to manipulate.

If you want to preserve a copy of your layer without the changes, right-hand click on the layer and select Duplicate Layer....

Use the Tool Options for the Quick Selection Tool, including the (1) Brush sizes, to adjust the effectiveness of the selection. Use the (2) Refine Edge... option to adjust the feather and the selection area further.

Step Two: From the Photoshop Menu select (1) Layer > New > Layer Via Copy. You will notice a new layer with only your selection appears in the Layer Panel. Note: Double left-hand click to rename your layer to keep things organized in the Layers' Pane.

Step Three: Reactivate the selection by right-hand click on the new layer and choosing (1) Select Pixels.

Step Four: With the pixels selected, return to the original Layer and choose (1) Select > Modify > Expand. In the dialog box, set the expansion to 5-10 pixels. The selection will expand outside of the original area equally on all sides.

Step Five: From the Photoshop Menu, select (1) Edit > Fill and in the dialog box choose (2) Content-Aware from the menu and select (3) OK. This will remove the selection and reveal a Photoshop auto generated newly constructed background. Note: Creating a new background with Content Aware Fill makes it easier to manipulate the image without distorting or creating holes in the bottom layer.
