Have you ever seen photos of people with intentionally distorted features or images with seemingly embossed text placed underneath a thick lens? Have you noticed backgrounds in images that look unreal with vertical or horizontal patterns or the pictures with black and white spirals that look hypnotic? All these visuals are examples of the warping effect. When you warp an image, you digitally manipulate it so that any shapes portrayed in it look significantly distorted.

You can also use this effect on your pictures to create a dramatic effect, honor any special requests from your couples, or for other creative purposes. In today’s blog, we take you through the steps of creating this effect in your images using the Warp tool in Photoshop.
