Apply liquify tool to multiple layers!

[BigFuzzy]

Learned something new today that I thought I'd share if others didn't know.

Here's the scenario. I took a photo. Girl likes it but wants a bit of 'work' done on her face. Sure no problem.. except that I want to show her various versions of that photo (ie color, b&w, Xpro, etc) and didn't want to have to use the Liquify tool on each version since I process them in LR before importing to PS for the Liquify tool.

Then I found out that while in the Liquify screen and you've finished doing what needs doing, you can "Save mesh" and then for the next version of that same photo you simply open liquify and "Load MesH" and wham.. exact thing you did the the 1st version applied to the 2nd version.. now the Liquify work is not distinguishable!

For me, this saves lots of work!

EDIT: I see my title could be deceptive.. this works both on layers in the same file or on entirely separate files.

Nice tip- I'll have to give it a try!

Definitely a great tip, I'm glad that it works in the way you described because I wouldn't want it to modify the original base layer. So the fact that you can store the "mesh" and then apply it on separate layers is actually a better option to me. Thanks Fuzz for sharing this feature, I'm certain it will come in handy!.
