nice and simple! I have to admit I have moved away from some of the process outlined in my tutorial since the introduction of the warp tool.

I have also been using the liquefy/healing tool to put in finishing touches, although not without the history brush to fix any warp lines in the background.

Thanks Bob, that means a lot coming from an excellent morpher like you.

I occasionally use the liquify tool but I feel that it looses the texture quality of the picture when you push things too big and just ends up looking cartoonish. Maybe the healing tool addresses that problem but I cannot admit to having much (read that as any) experience with it. I suppose that's something to look into.

your right over doing it is bad, which is why I stayed away from it for so long, But i watced someone else use one and they lowered a few settings and were sparing with it, and it was way better than the mesh tool for certain thing, especially healing wierd bulges from extreme warping.

One of the things I have done is use a wide feathered mask on the parts and then use a large size brush for the liquified tool. The feathered part of the mask protect the smoothness of stretching. I learn this when I am making a 3D stereo effect by hand to touch up what my 3D program did not. The less stroke you use to liquified the object, less muddled the texture will be.
