This is a hard one to explain what I would like to do. I have a side view of a lion's head with beautiful mane. Looking to make the mane into sort of bubbles that evaporate into the background. Weird description, I know, but I have seen the idea and now cant find an example. Sepiana, I know you can read my mind - help.

Oh my, that is so complicated and interesting - are you using PSE. I have 14. Not quite what I had in mind. I don't want to alter the face of the lion at all. But like the effects to the mane. Thanks.

I haven't tried this effect, it was just something I found by googling based on your initial post. It is hard to suggest anything without a visual idea of what it is you are trying to achieve.

I have to admit . . . I am not sure I know what you want. The first thing that came to my mind was what is called the "dispersion" effect. This technique may address what you want -- confine the effect to the lion's mane while keeping the lion's face intact.

Yes that is kind of what I had in mind. Many thanks. I am wondering if the liquefy tool would also give a nice effect. Will try that. Jean

You are most welcome! Glad to hear that was the effect you had in mind.
I think the Liquify filter would create an interesting effect. To help you apply this filter in a selective way, you could try this technique.
