Help: x5 Liquify Tool???

Post by yogirajj »

Hello,

Does there exist a plugin similar to Photoshop's "Liquify" for PSP? The closest I think I came to is PSP's Warp tool, but it does not give much control. Neither does the push tool work for me. Any suggestions? Thanks...

OK.. I played around with the "Mesh Warp" tool by increasing the lines. But this appears to be more work. It would be nice to have a tool that requires the least amount of work.

I just looked at the liquefy tool in CS2 and it appears to be the same as the warp brush in PSP without the extra bits about being able to load a mesh, change the color of the mesh and other things I would probably never use.
I have used the warp brush extensively in PSP and it works well.
What exactly are you trying to do that requires something special that the Liquify is the only thing that can do it?
Can you post an image or part of an image?
I have used it to thin a subjects arms, neck, reduce side and belly flab. There are other options there as well like expand from a point (makes eyse slightly larger), reduce to a point (even out eyes).

I was watching a Photoshop tutorial, to try and figure out how to put the head of a Panther to a man's head using PSP. However, I was having difficulty adjusting the eyes and the edges. It just seems like the "warping" tool was either pushing too much of the surrounding brush, or creating bubbles in the center of the brush. I guess I just have to practice a little more then. It's such a shame we don't have the infinite supply of tutorials for PSP the way we do Photoshop. :cry:

PSPx5 has two options that replicate the basics of the Liquify Tool.

First is the Warp Brush, I'm guessing you understand how to use it properly enough as is. But here is a short tutorial on it for anyone else.

The other is part of the KPT Plugin set.

To download and install the KPT plugins open the Corel Guide from the Help menu. It will be under Do More and plugins in the Corel Guide. One of the available commands offers you essentially the exact same tools as the Warp Brush. Called KPT Goo.

Thank you so much LeviFiction.... After watching your video, I didn't realize I was using the wrong settings. You've done an amazing job on your youtube channel. I haven't seen any videos that are as clear and precise as yours! Do you work for Corel? If not, they should hire you on the spot!! LOL.... Subscribed!!! Thanks again....
