MASTERING THE PUPPET WARP
HOW TO MASTERING THE PUPPET WARP
STEP : 1
Open an image in your workspace that you would like to transform. To learn the Puppet Warp tool, choose an image that only needs a slight transformation, such as a simple close-up of nature like the example in Figure 34-1. Once you become proficient with the tool’s features, you can tackle projects that are more ambitious.

STEP : 2
Puppet Warp can’t be applied to a locked background layer but MIXER BRUSH AND BRISTLE can be applied either destructively to a regular layer or mask, or non-destructively to a Smart Object layer. Select your image layer or mask and choose Filter > Convert for Smart Filters. Then select Edit > Puppet Warp.

STEP :3
In the Options bar you can set the elasticity and spacing of mesh points with the Mode and Density menus. Set the mode to Rigid and the density to Normal. To help keep the image in place as you warp, set the Expansion menu to 20 px.
The Puppet Warp mesh works by a system of pins, which serve as anchors for the transformations. Click to add pins in each of the four corners of your image, and then add several more pins around the area in your image you want to adjust. Figure 34-2 shows the example image with the mesh and pins.

STEP : 4
To warp the mesh, click and drag the pins to their new position. To move several pins at once, Shift+click on the pins you would like to select before repositioning. Press Alt+drag/Option+drag to rotate the mesh around a selected pin. You can even use the arrow keys to reposition selected pins.
Use the icons on the right edge of the Options bar to remove all pins and start over, cancel puppet warp (Esc) to undo any changes you have made while using the tool, or commit puppet warp (Enter/Return) to keep and apply your transformations.
STEP : 5
To clean up the edges and otherwise control which parts of the filter are affecting your Smart Object layer, select the Smart Filter mask thumbnail in your Layers panel and use the Paint Brush tool (B) to paint across your image with a black or white brush to either conceal or reveal areas of the filter. As a last step, apply a sharpening filter. Figure 34-3 shows the sample image before and after using Puppet Warp.
