Thanks for your reply but this is not useful, as you can see there are 2 images in this shot 1 main image, 2 image ( with low opacity ) how can i come to this process in gimp

Duplicate the layer with a transparency, then lower the opacity of the layer on the bottom. Anything done to the top layer will be more obvious when using the warp tool. That is what liquify does in PS, and the same for iWarp in GIMP.

I am not so sure you can load two layers at once i IWARP. But in GIMP-2.9.5 there is ON CANVAS transform tools.
Example.

BUT this version even though i have not encountered any bugs YET. I rarely do with http://www.partha.com version of GIMP-2.9. You SHOULD NOT use in a production type of mode as it is a beta release. Just a fair warning to save your work OFTEN if you do decide to use this version.

Hope that helps a little. By the way i am using the color corrected version he compiled. AND it comes as a portable so it will NOT interfere with your installed version of GIMP-2.8. MAKE SURE you grab the portable.

Rod, my intent was that the bottom layer serve as a model, not be used together with a second layer. Anything done to the top layer would then be obvious because the bottom layer never changes. Having some transparency on the bottom allows you to see both layers sort of like before and after style.

Yes but I think being able to view both layer's as you warp was what this question was about.

Then the answer is NO. I don't even think its possible in PS. I'll check.

But i can in GIMP-2.9.5. see both layers at once as i warp on canvas. I assume that is what the image is in the first post? The PS warp on canvas tool. Or is that Paint Dot Net? There is a LIQUEFY for both programs.

You can see both, but is the effect on both layers?

No. In GIMP-2.9.5 it warps only the selected layer. But you can see both. :bigthup

Gimp 2.9.5 and the n-point-deformation tool.

1. Two layers in a layer group. http://imgur.com/LRqyIp8

2. Deforming using the n-point-deformation tool. Deforms both layers together. http://imgur.com/pft22s3

3. Enter to apply the deform, do a new from visible for the result. http://imgur.com/ZXCxHuO

4. Why new form visible? because if you even look at that layer group it reverts to original. http://imgur.com/PRYz3T2

Hoping that eventually that tool will apply to the layergroup layers.
