Does anyone know a good tutorial that shows how to make one thing in the shape of another? Say I want to change a mouse so it's in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus. How would I do that?

Thanks everyone.

Here are two basic one along the lines of what your after:
http://csscreme.com/tutorials/photoshop-tutorials/animal_photo_manipulation_tutorial
http://www.psdbox.com/tutorials/easy-animal-morphing-tutorial-in-photoshop/

For drastic changes such as the one you describe you will need reasonably high resolution photos of a mouse possibly from different angles due to differences in shape between the two animals.

Its possible to minimize the warping and liquifying needed on a protect like this by covering the existing shape of the dinosaur with fur instead of shaping the mouse.

I appreciate the effort, but what you gave me were tutorials on how to blend two animals together and that's not what I'm looking for.

This is the kind of thing I'm looking for, only I can't use this tutorial:
photoshopcontest.com/tutorials/25/the-liquify-filter.html

I can't use that one because it requires using the "Show Backdrop" option at the bottom of the Liquify Filter options screen and, for some reason, said options screen is too big for my monitor and gets cut off at the bottom. I can't reach the "Show Backdrop" option. Unless you know how to resize that options screen, I need to find another way to do this.

Thanks, though.

Try F10, that apparently tiles all open windows.

I'm on a MacBook. F10 just turns the sound on and off.
