Few people notice the PS function: Twist and twist to do whatever you want

There are a number of ways to distort images on Photoshop, such as liquefaction (Liquify), which is a fairly handy tool, and this time it describes the "manipulation variants" (puppet warp) that began in Photoshop CS5. This is a simple, intuitive image distortion tool, and the use of the image will appear on the grid, very suitable for technical demonstrations. The introduction steps are as follows:

1. Open a picture in PS, such as the following figure.

2. In order to facilitate the display, so we have to pull out the puppet, and then separate the white background layer and the puppet layer.

3. Select the layer of the puppet and then go to edit –> manipulate the deformation (Puppet Warp), as shown below

4. The entire puppet layer is then wrapped around the grid.

5. With the left mouse button can be set on the grid Pushpin, the relevant position nailed up, and then you can use the mouse through these points to pull 扭扯.

6. We can see that the image below has been twisted into different shapes, and you will find:

(1) Different modes can make the object more soft or rigid, in order to close to the material feeling of different objects, and concentration will change the density of the grid, the more dense words, can be nailed position closer.

(2) Sometimes the object will twist to overlap, then decide which part is the face, or the bottom.

(3) Change the value of the angle, without pulling the pattern can be directly rotating, click the pushpin + ALT can also be replaced by rotation mode.

7. Complete.

The twisted arm position is closer to the muscle than the wood feels ... What if you apply it to a rope, a wire, something like that?

Note that this can be applied to almost any layer (except the background layer) and can also be localized.
