Dragging a control point to warp the mesh
To the manipulate the shape, drag the control points, a segment of the bounding box or mesh, or an area within the mesh. When
adjusting a curve, use the control point handles. This is similar to adjusting the handles in the curved segment of a vector graphic.

To change the orientation of a warp style that you chose from the Warp menu, click the Change The Warp Orientation button
options bar.

To specify the amount of warp using numeric values, enter the values in the Bend (set bend), X (set horizontal distortion) and Y (set
vertical distortion) text boxes in the options bar. You can't enter numeric values if you have chosen None or Custom from the Warp Style
pop-up menu.
4. Do one of the following:
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS), or click the Commit button
To cancel the transformation, press Esc or click the Cancel button
Note: When you warp a bitmap image (versus a shape or path), the image becomes slightly less sharp each time you commit a transformation;
therefore, performing multiple commands before applying the cumulative transformation is preferable to applying each transformation separately.

Puppet Warp

Puppet Warp provides a visual mesh that lets you drastically distort specific image areas, while leaving other areas intact. Applications range from
subtle image retouching (such as shaping hair) to total transformations (such as repositioning arms or legs).
In addition to image layers, you can apply Puppet Warp to layer and vector masks. To nondestructively distort images, use Smart Objects. (See
Create Smart Objects.)
1. In the Layers panel, select the layer or mask you want to transform.
2. Choose Edit > Puppet Warp.
