put my selected subject up on her own layer. (Note: We’ll look at how to make selections like this more in Chapter 5. It’s way easier than you’d think.)

Step Two:
Next, go under the Edit menu and choose Puppet Warp. This brings up a mesh over your image (seen here). The mesh is right up against the edges of your
