And I won't have to duplicate the warp actually.  The layer that has all the lightning showing, I'll just warp that layer.  I'll put a black layer over it and erase parts exposing the lightning underneath in different stages, saving it as I go along.  I would have done this originally but I made the original lightning image 8x8 and animated that, then thought of the bottle idea.  Was hoping with a quick fix but I think this will get better results.

I'll look more into smart objects since I still have no idea how they work.
