Copy the picture, switch to Photoshop, create a new document from clipboard then paste:

On the main menu, go to `Filter > Liquify` then use your mouse to liquify parts of the picture.

Click `OK` when finished.

The best way to learn it to have a go and practise. Some pictures produce better effects than others so start with this picture then [choose one of your own](../other/royalty-free.md).
