How to use Puppet Warp in Adobe Photoshop

By using Puppet Warp in Photoshop, you can control the structure of your subject's shapes, features, or even reposition some things like hands, legs, hair of the model on the image. By pinning the image, you can create powerful changes or subtle manipulations. Professional photo editing professionals often recommend that you should cut or extract the subject (or objects) that you plan to use Puppet Warp for, and then convert that layer into a Smart Object. This way, Puppet Warp will be applied to the layer like a Smart Filter that you can turn on or off.

In the Options bar, after choosing Puppet Warp in the Edit menu, make sure to choose Normal Blending Mode and More Points on Density - more anchor points will help you manipulate and warp the object easily. You should also turn on Mesh by clicking on the checkbox. By this way, you'll have a visual grid to move or slide around while using the tool. Pressing Alt / Option will allow you to rotate the image relative to the pin you have selected. However, be careful when rotating the image without adding the necessary pins to fix the areas that you don't want to move.
