I can’t leave comments or questions I get this error message « Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that! » even though I didn’t leave a comment prior??
25min50s what’s mesh I didn’t hear you talking about this previously??
Hi, the mesh is an invisible grid that the liquify tool uses to remember how the image has been bent, pushed and distorted. That mesh can be shown from within the liquify panel and the mesh can be saved if you want to use the exact same distortions on another image, but in reality this is not very useful because most images are different.
As usual, you explain each tool and identify its usability as well making the lesson more meaningful. Great job!
Thank you!
Hey Karl when attempting to liquify my photo I Get error message saying ” The Backdrop settings are preventing the preview from showing image changes ” how would I go about fixing this problem
Hi, if you look at the liquify panel in the lower right there should be some check boxes for backdrop settings that you have activated by mistake.
Great tip!
