Reset Effects
This dropdown provides options to revert applied edits:

Liquify Tool
The Liquify Tool allows users to manually adjust image shapes and contours. It is recommended to apply AI-based effects from the Feature Module first, and then use Liquify for detailed refinements.
After making adjustments, click “OK” in the lower-right corner to apply the effect.
Available Liquify Tools

Pushes, stretches, or reshapes specific areas as you drag the cursor.
