"Liquify Tool" in Capture One?

I'm a Capture One Pro 20 user, but I also use Photoshop, but I only really use the latter for its 'Liquify' tool for straightening people's jawlines, ears, adjusting eyebrows and the like. I know lots of photographer's who use the Liquify tool for things like this in portraiture.

I can't seem to find an equivalent to Photoshop's Liquify Tool in Capture One Pro 20 though, does it have one?

If it does not, does anybody know of any non-subscription based software that does? I have Photoshop CS5 but I need to upgrade my computer and when I do (Mac M1) my old version will no longer work and I'll have to pay monthly for Photoshop and I don't believe in subscription model software as I like to try and keep my monthly bills down.

I've downloaded, and tried, Pixelmator pro, which has a similar tool, but it does not work as it simply smudges and blurs what you try to move whereas Photoshop keeps everything sharp.

See also my response to you on this in the Feature Requests section of the forum. (Best not to cross-post - less confusing all round.) Affinity Photo has this feature, it's non-subscription and it's currently on offer at 50% of, so only £23.99. I haven't really used the Liquify feature, but there are good tutorials on it on YouTube. (It's also offering a 90 day free trial in view of the pandemic, though if you use that for too long, you might find that the 50% off offer ends before 90 days are up, I suppose.)

Thanks again, Ian. I have Affinity, bought it two years ago and have just this second updated to latest version. Tried Liquify tool, works well. I now have to check the 'blur' thing I mentioned in the other post. Yes, sorry for cross-posting, but I thought the 'request' one was not really a forum, just a request feature for the Capture guys to see.
