Hi all,

Is there a way to keep a water hose connected to the tap but move the nozzle and re shape the hose?

Any thoughts?

First you must separate the hose from the background and put it on its own transparent layer.

What happens next depends on how complex the texture of the hose is and how much you want to change it. EITHER Transform or Liquefy the hose layer (if the changes are not too drastic) OR delete it and draw a new one. Best way to draw a new one is to create a new path with the Pen tool and Stroke it with your Paintbrush set to a width and colour as close as possible to the existing hose. How much work you need to do after that depends upon whether you want photo realism.

Hope this helps.
