Is it possible on any version of photoshop to alter one section of a photo without changing the rest of it?
Like if I'm standing in front of a kitchen sink can you distort or change the sink while leaving the rest of the photo unchanged?

Yes, just create a selection around the object you wish to warp.

However, it will have some affect on the surrounding area, so I would select, duplicate the selected area, then warp. This will make it easier to blend if it's on a separate layer.

Select the object you wish to warp....

Use Cmd/contrl + J to duplicate the selection.
Use Cmd/cntrl + T to transform.

Warp...

Then blend back into the original...
