January 6: Dispersion (Technique Challenge)

I am getting stuck -- I get to the liquify but then when I try rest of the instructions it seems like I can't get it work. I use Photoshop CC. I do love the effect the liquify does on this photo -- would this work?

I have to admit I am a pretty straight vanilla girl when it comes to scrapping

 

HI, I'm still having trouble with this....I just can't seem to get it to work.

 

Can you help me please? I can't see the liquified layer beneath the top layer with the brush strokes. I'm pretty sure I followed all of the instructions to the tee!

 

@IntenseMagic I found something that helped. Photoplus doesn't have a liquefy filter, but there is a manual warp tool so I've used that, and had a go. Manual cloning out the subject was complicated, but would have been easier if I had a photo that didn't have a full background. I don't think it's a technique I'll use very often, but it's good to learn something new. I've learnt some new things about my software, and that's always a good thing. Thank you.

 

Definitely wasn't using the mask itself! IF you have a screen shot, that would be super helpful!

 

Such a fun challenge! And a real challenge for sure!

 

Thanks for this challenge ! Out of my confort zone ;-)

 

Honestly, I ready to throw in the towel. I will come back to this at some point. But right now it's just to hard for me, which I understand is the point of the challenges, but there needs to be a balance.

 

Looks great! I use Artisan too and these are the challenges I find the most difficult because I'm not a "player" in the program!

 

Thank you - I see the brackets - I just can't see the liquified image. I would send you a screenshot but I'm not sure how

DUH! I just realized I had to brush to actually see the liquifying. Sorry for being such a dolt!
