One of my favorite &#8220;tweaks&#8221; is using Puppet Warp which can be found in PhotoShop CS5 and above. Using Puppet Warp, you can warp just a piece of your image. Adobe had a video where the tutorial showed you how to move a person&#8217;s arm!<\/p>\n<p>The trick with Puppet Warp is getting the &#8220;thumbtacks&#8221; set correctly. If you don;t pin down the surrounding image enough, you can end up warping more than what you need. I usualy pin the 4 corners, down the middle, and then I pin an area surrounding the section I will be working on in a circular fashion. Once everything is locked down, I can put the pins on the section I want to tweak, and those are the pins I will drag to move and twist and gently guide my image in the direction I would like it to go. If it looks wonky, I can always undo with ctrl-z and try adding more pins and trying it again. When things look good, and I like the changes I have made, I accept the warp.<\/p>\n<p>Once you accept the puppet warp, you can always use undo (ctrl-z) to undo the entire puppet warp change, but if you want to try again and go back into Puppet Warp you need to set up your pins all over again.<\/p>\n<p>Oh- and I always do this on a copy of the layer, so I have the original and can compare.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a piece I am working on from a class,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeclearinghouse.com\/Online-Class-Reviews\/classes\/class-info\/Twinks-Yupo\" target=\"_blank\"> Twinks on Yupo<\/a>, I am taking with Jodi Ohl- (very fun BTW!):<\/p>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Yupo-Bird-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Before Puppet Warp\" alt=\"Before Puppet Warp\" src=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Yupo-Bird-small.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\">\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Before Puppet Warp<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\">I wasn&#8217;t crazy about the beak after I finished painting it, so I brought it into Photoshop to tweak the beak\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"middle\" title=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#41;\" alt=\"&amp;amp;#58;&amp;amp;#41;\" src=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/rsc\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/>:<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Yupo-Bird-small-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"After Puppet Warp\" alt=\"After Puppet Warp\" src=\"http:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Yupo-Bird-small-2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"344\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_block\">\n<div class=\"image_legend\">After Puppet Warp<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"image_legend\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"image_legend\">Enjoy!<\/div>\n<div class=\"item_footer\">\n<p><small><a href=\"http:\/\/easyscraps.com\/blog\/blogu.php\/photoshop-with-art\">Original post<\/a> blogged on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.EasyScraps.com\/blog\/\">Easy Scraps Blog- by Ursula<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever I play around with paints, Gelli-Art prints, stamps etc I can usually make them do double duty- by scanning&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[33,29],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mixed-media-posts","tag-cool-paper","tag-photoshop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2640,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions\/2640"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
