Yes but it copies all layers - including the layer with the object you want to change. Visually it's not very convenient. (You'd want only the background in the plugin window - to see the changes you're making with the object). And merging/unmerging just takes a few seconds. It becomes your second nature as soon as you got the trick. Works fine with Grid Warp, Smudge, Liquify etc.

In fact, you can see the full image working with Grid Warp (and some other warp plugins like Liquify). Copy the background. Then open the layer you want to distort in Grid Warp. Right click on the canvas. Choose 'from clipboard'. If there are several layers with parts of the image - just merge them down. Select all and copy. (The full image goes to clipboard.) Undo the merging (History window). Now the layers are separate again. Open the layer you want to adjust in Grid Warp. Right click and choose "from clipboard". You'll see the full background.

Join the question/request. If possible, that would be cool and produce more accurate results.

Thanks @Anybloodyid - PDN plugins are another universe!

Interesting. Solid black turning into texture with one click.

I wish @cjmcguinness was here (thank you wherever you are - this tutorial is wonderful).

#ReMakeStyle Thank you, this can be definitely useful.

I'd think of Egret but not sure - maybe @Maximilian would tell... Saved the original photo from Flickr a couple years ago. What's great about Cuboids is randomness of height and position in the settings. That's what I miss in other plugins like Mosaic or Tesserae. So thank u once again.

A little tribute to this plugin (as I've finally learned how-to... ) Thanks a lot @Red ochre!

@Michelle R in addition to what @Pixey said, there's one more plugin called Distort This! - give it a try, it can work as "Fix This", too.

Thank you @lynxster4 Because abstract is not my forte. It was meant to be the golden chariot metaphor for the sun. One wheel kinda cuts the moon and lets the light in, that is. No wonder that you think that Bambi should want to make out of such environment. PS. Hugs and welcome back from your 'vacation'!

Thank you @Pixey! They're wishing you all the best. 🐸🐸🐸

Fire With Fire Only two images today - but I kinda like them. Both were made with the help of Fire! and FurBlur. Gradient Bars, Gears and Planetoid were involved, too. And 100% PDN. Night Forest Chariot Thanks for your visit. Take care.

Same. But if the Legend says that, too, it's kind of okay, right? Thank you.

I dunno... maybe it's time?

This room feels very much like a place to wait for something - with hope for the better. Original and cheerful. I like your attention to details - as always. We'll have to go through this time somehow, won't we... May all dragons and lions and other wonderful creatures take care and stay okay, in spite of everything.

Thanks Lynx -- hope you're okay, take care! I just do what I can...

Thank you @ReMake for the rep! Thank you @Pixey for ✔️ and - that's totally mutual. Vagabondies come and go -- PDN remains.

The mystery of talent. Making this during "a little break". I'm sure that in a parallel universe you own a jewel shop - best in the country. They are so classy and individual.

Simple and wonderful, thank you.

Four Quarters just 4 images - each is made of 4 parts 1. Isolation 2. Connection 3. Oblivion 4. Creation Thanks for your visit. Be safe. Be creative.

Yes, it's easier now to color the image - and several layers are not even necessary! You can use one (below "scracth) as a painter's palette adding more and more colors (and picking them again from this "palette" any time, too). Thank you @ReMake!
