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.
Forward Warp tool 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.
Reconstruct tool Reverses the distortion you’ve already added, as you hold down the mouse button and drag.
