Liquify filter enhancements | Creative Cloud only
In the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, the Liquify filter is significantly faster than previous versions.The Liquify filter now supports Smart
Objects, including Smart Object video layers, and is applied as a smart filter.
Another enhancement to the Liquify filter is an added behavior for the Reconstruct tool. If you hold down the alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key
while dragging the tool across a warp, the Reconstruct tool smooths a warp rather than scaling back or removing it.
Applying Liquify as a smart filter | Creative Cloud only
The Liquify filter supports Smart Objects, including Smart Object video layers, and is applied as a smart filter. When applying the Liquify filter to a
Smart Object, meshes are now automatically saved into your document. Meshes applied to Smart Objects are compressed and re-editable when
reapplying the Liquify filter. Keep in mind that the embedded meshes, even compressed ones, increase the file size.
To apply the Liquify filter as a smart filter:
1. In the Layers panel, select a Smart Object layer.
2. Choose Filter > Liquify.
Distortion tools
Several tools in the Liquify dialog box distort the brush area when you hold down the mouse button or drag. The distortion is concentrated at the
center of the brush area, and the effect intensifies as you hold down the mouse button or repeatedly drag over an area.
Pushes pixels forward as you drag.
Shift-click with the Warp tool, the Push Left tool, or the Mirror tool to create the effect of dragging in a straight line from the previous point you
clicked.
Reverses the distortion you’ve already added, as you hold down the mouse button and drag.
Rotates pixels clockwise as you hold down the mouse button or drag. To twirl pixels counterclockwise, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option
(Mac OS) as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
Moves pixels toward the center of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
Moves pixels away from the center of the brush area as you hold down the mouse button or drag.
