again, the liquify tool
Hello, thank you for looking at my problem. When I am going to use the liquify tool/forward warp tool on a picture, the whole picture moves with the tool as if I was using the "hand tool", so I cannot accomplish the effect. What am I doing wrong? Thank you |

Re: again, the liquify tool
Hello Emy I tried every way , (as Locked background --- smart object etc , thinking that might attribute to the issue) to see if "the whole image" would move ... it did not . But , however , if you are referring to not wanting certain areas not be affected by the brush (forward warp) you can use the "Freeze Mask" tool , in Ps CC is the 8th one down from the left tool panel . Just mark the areas you don't want to be liquified. I hope I am understanding your issue right , but in case I am not , and that you do know what I suggested , please accept my apologies in advance , and good luck . Oh and PS ... Try to keep your hand off the space bar  (it turns it to a hand)

Re: again, the liquify tool
Is it possible that you're using Liquify on a small image, with an enormous brush size? |

Hi Emy, I have just seen your post .... and Steve's suggestion. I have made a little video on You Tube to try and demonstrate how the liquify tool appears to act differently on images of different size using different settings. http://youtu.be/zcIczlV_RNU Hope it is helpful and that you and James don't mind me "borrowing" your images for demo purposes.
