Using Liquify in Photoshop

• Liquify filter can change the shape of any image element;
• Make sure to convert the layer to a Smart Object so that when you apply the Liquify filter, it converts it to a Smart Filter which allows for non-destructive editing.
• The Forward Warp Tool is the most commonly used tool in Liquify;
• The facial features can be automatically detected where you can adjust eyes, nose, mouth;
• Don't forget to adjust the brush size, pressure, density to have desirable and subtle effects;
• Use the Reconstruct option to compare before and after changes and use the Reconstruct tool to revert undesired changes.

Liquify is a very powerful filter for photo and product adjustments. Remember to have it as a Smart Filter to allow for flexible and reversible edits.
