Mr Bean Liquify Extension Activity

1. Overview

We will be opening up Photoshop and learning how to make a new file, copy and paste from the Internet, and use the liquify tool to make something like this:

 

2. New File

1. Open up Photoshop by looking for the PS Icon

2. We are going to copy the image from Step 3 below. You can do this by right-clicking on it and choosing "Copy Image".

3. Here is the image, follow the instructions in Step 2 to copy it.

 

4. Go back to Photoshop. Click on the File Menu, and then "New"

5. A new window will pop up. If you have copied the Mr Bean picture correctly then the size settings will already be perfect (800 x 800 pixels) and you can just click OK.

6. You will now have a blank new file to work with.

When asked where to save to, you should always save your work to your D Drive

 

5. Liquify

Go to the Filter menu and choose Liquify

5.1. Warp

The first tool we are going to use is the warp tool.

It can be used to push around or smudge the image.

Before we go on to other tools it should be noted that the brush settings can be changed as well. A bigger or smaller brush can make a huge difference to the effect.

5.2. Pucker

The next tool we are going to use is the Pucker tool

This can be used to suck areas inwards to make them smaller. E.g.

 

5.3. Bloat

The next tool is called the Bloat Tool

This is the opposite to pucker and is used to expand areas. E.g.

 

 

 

 

6. Finished
