CS5 Puppet Warp Problems

I'm new to Photoshop and I'm using the Classroom In a Box book and disc. I'm on lesson 6 and learning to manipulate an image with Puppet Warp. This is the lesson with the selection of a person and you are moving just the head into a new position. When using puppet warp I'm having problems with only a portion of the image moving. This is the selection with no pins. The mesh keeps the correct outline but as you move the object using a pin located on a axis of a oblong section half of the object does not move. In this lesson it's the back of the guys head that stays stationary but the face and front of the head does move. This makes the person completely distorted. Can anyone tell me what I'm donig wrong?

Hi Joy and welcome to the forum
You need to copy the person you are warping to a new layer so that they move without dragging the background with them. But I tyhink you might have done that?
Those parts that you want to lock in place need at least two pins, and preferbly three pins. Then you should be able to select the pin you want to rotate around, and move the the entire head. Pupet Warp is not really that easy to master at first, so try lookiing for some additional help. Video tutorials are a good choice. This was the first hit I had with Google, and it does the job:

Puppet warp problem with selection

Hi,
I have a new problem that I didn't have in the past:
when I select a part of the photo and I click on Puppet Warp, the whole photo is selected for warping and not just my selection.
I'm using CC 2014 with all latest updates (on OSX Maverick).
Thanks, Kris

Hi,
In this example I made a selection of her hand, then tried to do puppet warp but then the entire image is selected.
When I start placing the first pin, the selection of the hand immediately disappears, and finally, when I want to drag the pins to warp things, the entire image is warped.
When I did exactly the same thing in the past, only the selected hand was warped.
Thanks for the help!
Kris

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0.

I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

Inexplicable behavior by Puppet Warp crashes Photoshop

I am running Photoshop CC 2014.1.0 (release 20140730.r,148 x64) on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version, 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes.

Yes I did. I always have my drivers up to date & in the right way. Even Audition cc seems to crash at startup on the 2014 edition. Also noticed that that as I started working with flash the preview lags a lot and the cursor lags too.
Pretty disappointing.

Why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

Every time i go to use the puppet warp tool i need to finish my assignment, photoshop says it is trying to fix the problem and then says it cant fix it and shuts the whole program down. And would like to know why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

You'll need to give us more information. What OS, what Photoshop version, how much RAM, what is your video card, and what are your performance preferences, etc., etc. -- ??

Severe Puppet Warp bug

I have been having this issue with certain uses of Puppet Warp and I'm not sure if it's how I'm using, the settings I have for the warp or my computer.
It happens on two different MacBook Pros with 8GB of RAM, on Mac OS X 10.8.4
I will spend about 40 minutes warping a photo converted to a Smart Object so that it looks like it's wrapping around a blanket like so:
This usually works just fine. I can save the file, and edit the photo more as time goes on and nothing is odd... until I save and come back to the file later.
When I open the file and try to edit the photo in the Smart Object, reduce the size of the entire image, or even just double-click on the Puppet Warp filter on the layer panel, it does this:
The pins are way off the board, the image looks like it's split into different parts and the only way to get it back is to Undo any changes. The settings for the Puppet Warp are: Normal, Normal, 2px
The image is 7"x5" at 240dpi.
This doesn't happen with all of my Puppet Warped images, but this one shows this behavior every single time. At one point I went in and recreated the Smart Object and Puppet Warp and it did the exact same thing after I was finished. This happens in both CS6 and the new CC versions of Photoshop.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this and if so, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!
-Ian

Thanks for the suggestions. I couldn't come up with any one method to fix the problem. I tried different documents, building the asset without masks of any kind, smaller resolution etc. It did the exact same thing every single time.
I finally just settled with using the other Warp transform method since I ran out of time for delivery.
I'll keep a lookout for anything that may cause this in the future, but it sure is frustrating.
Thanks again!

Puppet warp automatically zooms in when applying pins

After adding a puppet warp mask over my layer I click to start adding pins and it automatically zooms in 100% around the first pin and changes the current layer I'm on to a 100% crop of what is around the pin. If I zoom out it just zooms out of my current cropped image. I cant pan or move around and if I apply the puppet warp it applys it to that small section that it just zoomed into. Very odd and I can't seem to find a work around. I've used puppet warp several times in CS5 and a few times in cs6 but this just started happening. 13.0.1 x64 Windows 8. Anybody had this happen?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels visible?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Hey, where is there Puppet Warp keyboard shortcut?

There are plenty, I mean, plenty of keyboard shortcuts in Ps CS5/CS6 but, where is the Puppet Warp keyboard-shortcut?? It doesn't seem to exist... At least, I can't find it nor can I create a Puppet Warp custom keyboard-shortcut, as well. What gives Adobe???

Hi, Photomagneto! Welcome to the forums.
Like you mentioned, there are a TON of keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop, which makes it very difficult to assign new features a shortcut. However, there is a nice feature that allows you to create your own!
Under the Edit menu, you'll find Keyboard Shortcuts at the bottom. Once you're in there, you can find the Puppet Warp feature under the Edit submenu, and you can assign it a shortcut.
I hope this helps!

Can't find Puppet Warp

I'm using CS4. I need to use the Puppet Warp tool but I cannot find it anywhere. Every place I've looked says it should be under the Edit tab but it is nowhere to be found. Help!!

Well I was wanting to twist an image into a word, like in this tutorial: http://abduzeedo.com/cool-text-effect-puppet-warp-tool-photoshop-cs5
Annnnd I just now noticed on the page and in the URL that it says CS5. I might just do the CS6 30 day trial.

Bug in Puppet warp

Hi,
I've been having a problem with Puppet warp for some versions now. I thought CC would fix it but it did not.
I use the puppetwarp feature on smartobject mainly but the bug also appears on regular pixel layers as well. I set some pins so the part of the image I don't want to distort don't move, and some where I want the image to distort. All is well, then I distort the image the way I want and all looks like everthing is ok, hit OK. Now on a lot of images, the resulting distortion just chops off some little part of the image, like corners or edges. not a lot, but diffenitly noticable. This makes the feature almost useless to me because I never know if it's going to work correctly or not, and it is mostly NOT working correctly. Anyone else experiencing these cutting part/edge issue with puppet warp?
TIA
Jeff

If the "folding order" of the distortion doesn't make sense, some of the triangles "reverse". This is usually "fixed" by applying excessive amounts of starch to increase rigidity in these sensitive areas. Also many times simpyl changing the number of triangles to create will resolve such issues since it allows to better capture e.g. "tails" that curve in on themselves, forming large, ambiguous, non-convex regions. Likewise, very thin/ fine regions will result in unfavorable distribution of ther triangles. There's some nerdy math going on here.... Well, whatever, it's not per se a bug, more of a limitation. If you use smart objects, you could try to temporarily "fill" or "thicken" critical areas by adding some layer beneath your artwork that you later hide inside the SO once you have a working mesh...

Puppet warp and masks

I have a problem with masks and puppet warp tool. I use masks to hide parts of content in my layers. afterwards i want to transform layers using puppet warp. after doing so soft edges of my masks are destroyed, - i have to edit / redo my masking. why is this, am i doing somthing wrong? photoshop cs6, win 64bit . thank you.

Okay, thanks! Should have tried out some effects before I posted the question here. Apologies. Warping an entire animation is rather easy: I just make an animated gif that would look good on a flat surface, and then I apply a mesh warp or some effect like that to the layer on the timeline. In this case, I warp without adding keyframes, so the animation is warped in the same way throughout the animation.
Lesson learned: first dive into the software, THEN look for relevant questions and ask one..

Click-and-drag to select multiple points in puppet warp

Hello Community,
Puppet Warp is a great tool. But sometimes I want to isolate an area and only rework that spot, while keeping everything else in place. To do this I have to go around clicking everything to pin it down. I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically pin all possible points, or click-and-drag to create pins at all intersecting points of the web.
Or something like that to easily pin everything down.
Cheers,
Emmy

Well, I normally find the solution here if there is one, so it looks like there is none.
Adobe peeps, can you please take note of my comment? It would really be nice if that was possible.
Cheers,
Emmy

Why can't I rotate multiple points in puppet warp at the same time?

You can rotate single points in puppet warp, and you can shift+click to select multiple points and move them at the same time but I see no way to rotate multiple points as one group using puppet warp. This would be a very helpful feature I think should be added.

Keyframe using the puppet warp tool in photoshop CS6?

Is there any extension or way that will allow me to keyframe using the puppet warp tool in photoshop CS6?
I'm doing 2d animation, and I need to draw lines that I can immediately animate using puppet warp (you can't draw in after effects).

I am removing a dust spot from video clips taken during an aerial shoot. I have discovered that the only effective way to remove these spots effectively is to use PS6 and go frame by frame using the paint brush, clone stamp, and spot healing brush. It is very time consuming and mind numbing but the only thing that works with all tha movement of the aircraft and the ground below.
My question:
Right now to advance the clip one frame at a time - I must magnify the time line so to see the frame by frame lables. To advance to the next frame I must remove my cursor from the work area and go down to the time line and click on the next frame.
How can I advance to the next frame with a keyboard stroke and not move my cursor out of the work area?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Tony
