longer you hold the brush over an area, the more the brush produces
the effect.
The Warp Brush tool can be used to create caricatures.
You can also warp images by using a grid. When you use the Mesh
Warp tool, a grid or mesh is placed on the image. The grid intersections
have mesh points, or nodes, that you drag to create deformations.
For more information about warping by using a grid, see “To warp
image areas by using a grid” in the Help.
