Another enhancement to the Liquify filter is an added behavior for the Reconstruct tool. If you hold down the alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key
while dragging the tool across a warp, the Reconstruct tool smooths a warp rather than scaling back or removing it.
Applying Liquify as a smart filter | Creative Cloud only
The Liquify filter supports Smart Objects, including Smart Object video layers, and is applied as a smart filter. When applying the Liquify filter to a
Smart Object, meshes are now automatically saved into your document. Meshes applied to Smart Objects are compressed and re-editable when
reapplying the Liquify filter. Keep in mind that the embedded meshes, even compressed ones, increase the file size.
To apply the Liquify filter as a smart filter:
1. In the Layers panel, select a Smart Object layer.
2. Choose Filter > Liquify.
Distortion tools
Several tools in the Liquify dialog box distort the brush area when you hold down the mouse button or drag. The distortion is concentrated at the
center of the brush area, and the effect intensifies as you hold down the mouse button or repeatedly drag over an area.
Forward Warp tool Pushes pixels forward as you drag.
Shift-click with the Warp tool, the Push Left tool, or the Mirror tool to create the effect of dragging in a straight line from the previous point you
clicked.
Reconstruct tool Reverses the distortion you’ve already added, as you hold down the mouse button and drag.
Twirl Clockwise tool Rotates pixels clockwise as you hold down the mouse button or drag. To twirl pixels counterclockwise, hold down Alt
(Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
Pucker tool Moves pixels toward the center of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
Bloat tool Moves pixels away from the center of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
Push Left tool Moves pixels to the left when you drag the tool straight up (pixels move to the right if you drag down). You can also drag
clockwise around an object to increase its size, or drag counterclockwise to decrease its size. To push pixels right when you drag straight up (or to
move pixels left when you drag down), hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag.
(CS5) Mirror tool Copies pixels to the brush area. Drag to mirror the area perpendicular to the direction of the stroke (to the left of the stroke).
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to mirror the area in the direction opposite to that of the stroke (for example, the area above a
downward stroke). Usually, Alt
- dragging or Option-dragging gives better results when you have frozen the area you want to reflect. Use
overlapping strokes to create an effect similar to a reflection in water.
(CS5) Turbulence tool Smoothly scrambles pixels. It is useful for creating fire, clouds, waves, and similar effects.
Distortion tool options
In the tool options area of the dialog box, set the following options:
Brush Size Sets the width of the brush you’ll use to distort the image.
Brush Density Controls how a brush feathers at the edge. An effect is strongest in the center of the brush and lighter at the edge.
Brush Pressure Sets the speed at which distortions are made when you drag a tool in the preview image. Using a low brush pressure makes
changes occur more slowly, so it’s easier to stop them at exactly the right moment.
Brush Rate Sets the speed at which distortions are applied when you keep a tool (such as the Twirl tool) stationary in the preview image. The
higher the setting, the greater the speed at which distortions are applied.
(CS5) Turbulent Jitter Control how tightly the Turbulence tool scrambles pixels.
(CS5) Reconstruct Mode Used for the Reconstruct tool, the mode you choose determines how the tool reconstructs an area of the preview
image.
Stylus Pressure Uses pressure readings from a stylus tablet. (This option is available only when you are working with a stylus tablet.) When
selected, the brush pressure for the tools is the stylus pressure multiplied by the Brush Pressure value.
Distort an image
Note: If a type layer or a shape layer is selected, you must rasterize the layer before proceeding, making the type or shape editable by the
Liquify filter. To distort type without rasterizing the type layer, use the Warp options for the Type tool.
1. Select the layer you want to distort. To change only part of the current layer, select that area.
2. Choose Filter > Liquify.
3. Freeze areas of the image that you don’t want to alter.
4. Choose any of the liquify tools to distort the preview image. Drag in the preview image to distort the image.
5. After distorting the preview image, you can:
Use the Reconstruct tool or Reconstruct Options to fully or partially reverse the changes.
