Adobe Photoshop CS5 One-on-One

We’re going to be putting puppet boy and his wild puppet limbs over

this background in a distracting way, so don’t worry about your healing

being perfect. Just remove any areas of the background that you might

still find noticeable despite the presence of flailing limbs.

8. Convert the Jumping Puppet layer to a smart object. Click
   the column to the left of the Jumping Puppet layer to turn its
   back on. To leave a trail of reversability before you enter the
   puppet warp mode, right-click the layer and choose Convert
   to Smart Object. This not only gives you a trail back but also
   allows you to modify your puppet warp in the future.


9. Choose the Puppet Warp command. Choose Edit→Puppet
   Warp. At first, you’ll see a distracting mesh cover your subject.
   For now, turn off the Show Mesh check box in the options bar.
   You’ll also notice that your cursor changes to a pushpin icon
   with a plus symbol ( ), which indicates that you’ll be adding
   pins as you click with it.


10. Set two pins along the arm on the left. Make your first click
    at the subject’s right shoulder (the left side of the image). Then
    set another pin by clicking at his elbow on the same arm, as
    in Figure 8-26.
