Pentaxian Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hi team :) Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm having a problem with the Liquefy persona and operation. If I load a fresh photo (JPG) and go straight to the Liquefy persona, I can warp it beautifully (or grotesquely) :). No problem. However, if I perform a tweak on the photo FIRST (eg bring up the shadows in "Shadows/Highlights"), and THEN go to liquefy something - it doesn't work. The liquefy mesh sort of moves a bit, but nothing in the image itself. If I click on "Apply" still nothing. If I then close the photo (without saving it) and then reload and go straight to Liquefy - it works again. So it seems that liquefying isn't working on a photo that has already had some processing done on it. Can anyone else confirm this, or is it just me missing something?

TDmah Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hello Pentaxian, This threw me for a loop a few times as well. After adding an adjustment layer, you have to make sure to select the original layer before entering the liquefy persona. Otherwise, you are simply modifying the adjustment layer (and thus seeing no apparent result). Regards, Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentaxian Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Aha - thanks Travis - appreciate the info. Will give that a try. It may make more sense though to have the program assume that when I go into Liquefy mode, or use the Warp Mesh tool, that I want to work on the base layer UNLESS I specifically click on another layer...? Or maybe at least have that as an option in the Preferences? I'll look into this when I get back to the computer I do that work on. Thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDmah Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, I guess it could default to the base/background layer, but then that would probably annoy anybody who wants to apply the effect to a different layer. As it is, I guess they decided that it is best to make the user choose which layer he/she wants to modify. Anyways, hope this solved the problem in your case. Best, Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_mac Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Had problems with this as well. Closed down my work last night in frustration. A thought, what would happen if you apply merge visible and then went into the liquify persona. In the lab mode tutorials to change the image back into RGB the instructor made a point of saying that the adjustments may not translate well and to ensure that the correct colours were in place one could either flatten the image or use merge visible (~3:15 in the video). Haven't tried it because I just saw this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
