Liquify tool issue

i am trying to liquify an ill-fitting dress on the subject. When I use Liquify, eg: Forward Warp tool, it doesnt move the entire layer. In other words it moves the selected area but leaves a sort of semi transparent layer underneath. For example, if I try to move part of a red dress on the subject it leaves a semi transparent later underneath instead of moving it all. If I run the tool over an arm it leaves a semi transparent arm underneath.

I have tried rebooting Photoshop cc. I have tried different images in case it was just affecting one image.

Anyone else had this issue.

Thanks!

In post 1 I asked

What is the »Show Backdrop« setting?

so have you tried simply checking it?

I don't see an opacity slider but tried moving density slider. Issue remains.

I have watched several how to use Liquify videos and tried to follow instructions but I still have this issue.

Ah, ha! Genius. I just tried UNCHECKING the show backdrop setting and it's sorted it!

Thank you so much and thank you too for being patient with me - much appreciated!

Yeah, I mistyped, »unchecking« it should have been as you figured out yourself.

Hi, reset your photoshop preferences it will solve your issue.

To rest preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
