Use the Liquify tool to transform and add effects to your Fresco artwork.
The Liquify tool in Fresco is a transform tool that allows you to modify pixel layers by pushing and pulling the layers in any direction. You can liquify only one layer at a time.
For example, you want to transform the shape of the magical sphere in the image below. The Liquify tool lets you modify the sphere and add any effects to alter its appearance.
