Photoshop Creative Issue

The Liquify and Displace filters are used to
distort pixels in an image. However, there is
a huge difference between them. Liquify is
commonly used to create artistic effects by
using tools to distort the pixels, Displace
uses a greyscale map to distort the objects.


In this project, we used Liquify to create a
melting effect and Displace to blend the
melted paws with the iceberg. To create the
Displace Map, open the image you want to
map, desaturate it, use Levels to adjust the
grayscale tones, then save as .psd. To apply

the filter, go to Filter>Distort>Displace,
select the .psd file you created. To work
with Liquify, go to Filter>Liquify. Grab the
Forward Warp Tool and start pushing the
pixels down and then push sideways and
inward to make the trails thinner.

Use these filters to bend objects to your will
