    Is there something similar to Photoshop’s pinch filter? I need to
    squeeze the center of a shape, like squeezing a tube into an hourglass.

    Is there a simple way to do this? I’ve done the opposite of this
    with the spherize filter.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Maybe one of those can do it, but I haven’t been
    able to figure out which one. I’ve tried a bunch of
    them so far.

    OK, I found it. The liquify filter has a setting
    called pucker that worked.

    Hey, I know this is three years later, but googled and found this thread… needed to pinch a line of copy.

    You can do this with BULGE… and set a negative value on the Bulge Height.
