6.2.7 Liquify

Liquify can be used to distort a picture by painting. You can use this tool to convert a photo to a caricature or to correct facial expressions.

Liquify has several subtools:

Liquify allows you to display a grid. Using the grid makes it easier to recognize too strong distortions. Of course this grid will not be visible in the final result.

When using Liquify you should pay attention to a few points:

Using the Tool Settings you can copy and save the current distortions. Distortions are saved as RGB image with 32-bit data depth, therefore only PLD and TIFF are available as save formats.

You can also use existing images as distortion by using Paste or Load. Images with a wrong size will be scaled appropriately.
