How Do You Stretch Something in Photoshop?

There are a few ways to stretch an object in Photoshop. One way is to use the Free Transform tool. With the layer that you want to stretch selected, go to Edit > Free Transform, or press Command/Ctrl+T.

Then, click and drag one of the corner handles outward to stretch the layer. To constrain the proportions of the layer as you’re stretching it, hold down Shift while you click and drag a corner handle.

Another way to stretch an object is by using the Liquify filter. Go to Filter > Liquify, or press Shift+Command/Ctrl+X. In the Liquify window, select the Forward Warp tool from the left toolbar.

Then, click and drag on the image to push and pull the pixels around. To constrain the warp tool to only affect a specific area, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) while you click and drag.

You can also use Photoshop’s Puppet Warp tool to stretch an object. First, make sure that you have a solid background layer behind your image layer. Then, go to Edit > Puppet Warp, or press Command/Ctrl+Shift+W. Next, click and drag on the image to add pins.

The areas between pins will be warped as you move the pins around. To remove a pin, simply click on it and press Delete (Windows) or Backspace (Mac).
