Prompt

Apply Liquify Brush, gently pushing a limited image region sideways into a smooth fluid deformation. Stretch nearby contours and textures along the stroke, with displacement fading gradually into untouched surroundings. Avoid global warping, hard seams, added blur, or altered lighting. Keep the original subject and composition.

Paste it into LetzAI with your own image to apply the effect ↗

Identify

A local region is being fluidly shifted.

Principle

A spatially limited vector field1 transports image coordinates2.

Try it out

Set multiple centers.

Classification

Schematic visualization, not neural inference.

02 Liquified Snow Fence (30394198685)A long fence stretches across a green hillside under a blue sky. The fence rails exhibit fluid, undulating curves, showing how multiple centers of a liquify brush can warp linear geometric patterns.Bernd Thaller from Graz, Austria · CC BY 2.0 · Wikimedia Commons

03 Warping Tool Can Do Some Wonders! (4276486499)A girl's face is locally distorted, showing a characteristic smearing of features while the surrounding environment remains stable. This demonstrates a local vector field applied via a digital liquify or warp tool to shift image coordinates.William Cho · CC BY-SA 2.0 · Wikimedia Commons

05 Liquify Brush, applied to “Escalator, Public Hotel New York (2024)-L1005609”An escalator interior shows severe warping of the metallic banisters and stairs. The straight architectural lines are pulled into organic, fluid curves, demonstrating a spatially limited vector field applied to the image.Frank Schulenburg (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia Commons

(d.j.b) 04”A landscape with a wooden bridge shows a swirled distortion in the yellow trees and a wave-like pull in the river. These localized, non-perspective deformations indicate the application of a liquify brush.Dominicus Johannes Bergsma (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia Commons

07 Liquify Brush, applied to “Trésor Caelius plat”A metallic plate shows localized smearing where the engraved hunting scene is pulled toward the right edge. The circular border is warped into a fluid peak, demonstrating a local shift in image coordinates.Jebulon (photo); processed for the Atlas · CC0 · Wikimedia Commons
