In this jawfish shot, I was able to widen the already open mouth and emphasize the eyes. Since “sock puppet” isn’t exactly the phrase you want springing to mind when looking at sharks, the Pucker tool is a great way to address fisheye distortion locally (on specific areas of the image).Įxpands pixels outward from the center of the brush as you click and hold or drag in the image. It’s not unusual to get a somewhat comedic “sock puppet” effect when shooting sharks or other large critters close up with a fisheye lens. Sucks pixels inward toward the center of the brush as you click and hold or drag in the desired area of the image. In this shot of a grouper, I’ve used the Forward Warp tool to open the mouth, emphasize the eye, and pull the dorsal fin upright. Lets you “fingerpaint” pixels into place, by clicking and dragging in the desired direction. These tools mash the pixels around, letting you push, pull, pucker or bloat specific areas of your image. Though the Liquify filter offers an array of tools, you really only need to know a few for underwater photography. Painting with the Thaw Mask tool unfreezes them. Frozen areas are covered by a red mask that you paint using the Freeze Mask tool. By freezing areas of the preview image, you protect those areas from changes. You can freeze areas that you don’t want to modify or thaw frozen areas to make them editable again.

Using a low brush pressure makes changes occur more slowly, so it’s easier to stop them at exactly the right moment. Sets the speed at which distortions are made when you drag a tool in the preview image. Use high density to get more bang for the buck out of the brush. An effect is strongest in the center of the brush and lighter at the edge. Different parts of the image will need different brush sizes.Ĭontrols how a brush feathers at the edge. Always select a brush size that’s slightly bigger than you think you need, and change the brush size often.

Sets the width of the brush you’ll use to adjust the image.

While it’s true there’s no end to the fun that can be had adjusting your buddy’s face or physique in post, the Liquify filter can also be used to nudge, exaggerate, or diminish selected features of underwater photos for surprisingly realistic results. The fashion industry has long laid claim to Photoshop’s Liquify filter as its staple of image manipulation, but like many tools in post, it can be used for either good or evil.
