Liquify Tool

The default values of all brushes have been optimized for iPad, ensuring a smoother editing experience. If you adjust the brush settings manually, these changes will be saved specifically for the device being used.

Additionally, during the liquify process, you can effortlessly switch between different retouching tabs, ensuring a smoother and more fluid user experience.

Liquify Tool

• Forward Warp Tool – Pushes, stretches, shrinks, or expands specific areas as you drag to change the shape and the size of that area.

• Smooth Tool – Smooth the details and salient features of the picture, making it smoother and more even to improve the appearance.

• Twirl Clockwise Tool – Rotate pixels clockwise as you hold down the mouse button or drag, achieving a rotating effect on objects in the picture.

• Pucker Tool – Move pixels toward the center of the brush area as you hold on, building an effect that resembles fabric, paper, or skin folds.

• Bloat Tool – Move pixels away from the center, making it appear fuller or more prominent.

• Push Left – This will move the pixels to the center area to the left for a horizontal displacement effect.

Liquify Aid Tool

• Reconstruct Tool – Reverse the distortion you’ve already added.

• Freeze Mask Tool – By freezing areas of the preview image, you protect those areas from changes. Frozen areas are covered by a mask that you paint using the Freeze Mask tool.

• Thaw Mask Tool – Use to unfreeze the original freezing area.

Brush Adjustments

For each different liquifying tool, there are sliders to adjust their effect.

• Size – Adjust the size of the liquefaction brush to control the extent of the liquefaction tool.

• Density – This allows you to adjust the density of the liquefaction tool. Higher density values will result in a denser liquefaction effect, causing a more pronounced distortion effect. A low-density value produces a sparser liquefaction with a smaller area of influence and a relatively slight distortion effect.

• Pressure – This allows you to control the pressure intensity of the liquefaction tool. A high pressure will produce a strong liquefaction effect, while a low-pressure value will produce a weak liquefaction effect.

• Rate – Adjust the responsiveness or degree of distortion of the liquefaction tool. It determines the speed of change when you move the mouse or brush.

Pin Edge

Pin Edge is designed to protect the edges of an image from being affected by liquify adjustments. It helps maintain the shape, structure, or details of specific areas during the liquify process. Use this feature when you want to preserve the integrity of certain regions while applying other edits.

Show Mask

This option controls the visibility of the mask for the Freeze tool. When disabled, the mask range for the Freeze function will not be visible.

Note: You can also export and return to the Project Page while using the Liquify tool. Instead a prompt will notify users that the liquify changes will be preserved before proceeding.

Shortcuts and Gestures

Shortcuts:

• When connected to a keyboard, hold the Option key to toggle between rotation and the direction for Push Left.

Gestures:

• Double-tap Apple Pencil: In the Liquify page, double-tap the Apple Pencil (2nd/3rd generation) to switch between brushes. The brush will toggle between the last used brush—if you switch from Brush A to Brush B, double-tapping the Pencil will bring you back to Brush A, and another double-tap will go back to Brush B. If no brushes have been switched, double-tapping will activate the Reconstruct Tool. A second tap will return to the Forward Warp tool.

• Two-finger tap on canvas: use this gesture to undo the previous action (same as the Undo button). This supports continuous tapping.

• Three-finger tap on canvas: use this gesture to redo the next action (same as the Redo button). This also supports continuous tapping.

Note: You can undo up to 10 steps. The history log in Liquify will show up to 10 steps, with any steps beyond that grayed out.

Healing Tool

Healing Tool has been added to the bottom of feature modules.

When zooming in/out, adjusting brush size, or changing brush hardness, the current brush state is displayed at the center of the canvas.

Users can seamlessly switch between different feature module (Portrait, Clothing, Background) while using the Healing Brush. The applied corrections are automatically saved. Users can also return to the Project page or export the image with the current edits—no confirmation needed.

Note: Switching to another tab will clear the Healing Tool history, and previous steps cannot be restored.

Undo & Redo

Tap the undo & redo buttons at the top-left corner of the page to revert to previous steps or restore adjustments.

When using an external keyboard, you can use the shortcuts:

• Command + Z to undo

• Command + Shift + Z to redo (For Windows keyboards, use Win + Z)

History

New History option is added at the bottom of the right-side toolbar. Once the panel opens, you can choose to revert to a specific step in the history.

If the photo has effects when you exit the software, upon reopening, the history will retain the photo effects, offering two options: ‘Snapshot of Last Modified Image’ and ‘Original Image.’

Note: The History tool does not include detailed adjustments made with the Liquify or Healing tools. These will be recorded as a single step showing the final result.
