    brainteaser: using liquify and a reference layer

    Christian Davideck Community Member

      Hi folks. This is a tough nut to crack for me, and I didn't find a solution ... maybe you have a good idea?

       

      I want to use a "reference layer" within the liquifiy filter GUI.

       

      Now what do I mean by "reference layer"? Sometimes I need to work on a layer ("working layer") and whatever I do on this layer has to get its bearings based on reference points or elements on a superposed layer ("reference layer"), that I temporarily make semi-transparent. So far so good.

       

      Now I would need the "forward warp tool" from the liquify filter GUI for my "working layer". Problem is that when I enter the liquify filter GUI, I can of course only see my "working layer" now (whereas I would still need to see my "reference layer" somehow).

       

       

      Any workarounds?

      thanks.
