Photoshop Tutorial: Puppet Warp

For puppet warp, I selected her arm using the Quick Selection Tool and used it  to make a layer channel. I put it on a new channel. I was able to use puppet warp to move her arm around. Then I deleted everything on the other layers so the puppet warp is the only thing visible.

Photoshop Tutorial: Exploding Fruit

For this tutorial, a lot of layers were necessary to create the exploding effect. The eraser tool was also necessary to change the shape of the shards. The smudge tool was to give the outer layer of the orange an exploding effect, and motion blur was added as a smart filter to the groups of layers.
