Simply click to add a pin to the areas of the image that you want to anchor. Turn off the visibility on the background layer. Show Mesh: Deselect to display only the pins, and not the mesh.Ĥ.Expansion: Expand or contract the outer edges of the mesh.
Rigid is the opposite and recommended when your object is Density: Sets the spacing of the mesh, where small changes in moving the pins result in larger warps.Rigid, as the name suggests is not very stretchy, while Distort will give you an ultra-stretchy mesh. Mode: Determines how elastic the mesh is.There are several options available in the Options bar at the top of the screen. Make sure your new dummy layer is selected (not the background layer), then choose Edit > Puppet Warp. In the Layers palette you should now see the dummy on it’s own layer with transparency around it.ģ. Now to put the selection on its own layer, press Ctrl + J (Windows) or Cmd + J (Mac). Select the white area around the dummy using the Magic Wand tool (W), then press Shift + Ctrl + I (Windows) or Shift + Cmd + I (Mac) to invert the selection so that the dummy is selected.ģ. You will also get a better result if the object you want to warp is isolated on its own layer, so that’s what we’ll do now. As mentioned previously, Puppet Warp works on nearly every type of layer, but it will not work on a background layer. It’s a huge image so I’ve cropped it and removed a large chunk of white space on the left side of the dummy.Ģ. I’m using this image which I downloaded for free from Stock Xchng. Open up an image that you want to apply a warp to. The results from this command can range from subtle reshaping or retouching to extreme distortion.ġ. Puppet warp can be applied to “normal” layers, type layers, shape layers, Smart Objects and vector masks and the good news is, and it’s fairly simple to use. You’ll use the mesh to place pins where you want to control movement or to ensure there is no movement – literally pinning part of the image to the document window. It works by placing a mesh over an image. Puppet Warp is a little bit like the Liquify filter. Puppet Warp is one of the much talked-about new features in Photoshop CS5.
