At first glance it looks like a simple issue, just to use some plug-ins.Look deeper into it it's isn't simple.. Seems to me there are twooptions there:
     1. Copy half of the sking, paste into a new layer with        trasnparency, use IWrap on both layers (the "move" method), move        both layers towards the 'pucker', make smart use of alpha        channel and drop-shadow effect. This is too difficult to create        something that really looks like 'pucker'.     2. Use the displacement map filter, as I was suggested through a        private email from the list. The problem is lack of good        methodology to create approciate X/Y Displacement Coefficient        layer. Whatever I create, it just doesn't look like.
