I just found this tutorial today. It's very useful for Photoshop users, thus I repped it--sadly I have GIMP. I played around with the IWarp feature, but it doesn't really produce the same results. However, even if the technique can't be applied, the information certainly can, so thank you for writing this!

EDIT: I forgot to add that perhaps there's a plugin for GIMP somewhere out there that could achieve the same / a more similar effect? If anybody knows and posts a link here, that would be splendid.
