Show Diffuse GlowThe Diffuse Glow filter renders an image as though it were viewed through a soft diffusion filter. This filter adds see-through white noise to an image, with the glow fading from the center of a selection. DisplaceThe Displace filter uses an image, called a displacement map, to determine how to distort a selection. For example, using a parabola-shaped displacement map, you can create an image that appears to be printed on a cloth held at its corners. This filter requires a displacement map file composed of either a flattened image saved in Photoshop format or an image in bitmap mode. You can use your own files or the files included in the locations:
Apply the Displace filter
GlassThe Glass filter makes an image appear as if it were being viewed through different types of glass. You can choose a glass effect or create your own glass surface as a Photoshop file and apply it. You can adjust scaling, distortion, and smoothness settings.To apply your own texture file, click icon and select Load Texture.LiquifyThe Liquify filter makes it easy to manipulate areas of an image as if those areas had been melted. You work with a preview image of the current layer, using special tools to warp, twirl, expand, contract, shift, or reflect areas of the image. You can make subtle changes to retouch an image or drastic distortions to create an artistic effect. Apply the Liquify filter
Ocean RippleThe Ocean Ripple filter adds randomly spaced ripples to the image's surface, making the image look as if it were under water. PinchThe Pinch filter squeezes a selection or layer inward or outward. Apply the Pinch filter
Polar CoordinatesThe Polar Coordinates filter converts a selection from its rectangular to polar coordinates, and vice versa, according to a selected option. You can use this filter to create a cylinder anamorphosis—art popular in the 18th century—in which the distorted image appears normal when viewed in a mirrored cylinder. RippleThe Ripple filter creates an undulating pattern on a selection, like ripples on the surface of a pond. For greater control, use the Wave filter. Options include the amount and size of ripples. ShearThe Shear filter distorts an image along a curve. Apply the Shear filter
SpherizeThe Spherize filter gives objects a 3D effect by wrapping a selection around or inside a spherical shape, distorting and stretching the image. Apply the Spherize filter
TwirlThe Twirl filter rotates an image or selection more sharply in the center than at the edges. Specifying an angle produces a twirl pattern. You can drag the slider to the right into positive values to twirl the image clockwise, drag the slider to the left into negative values to twirl counterclockwise, or enter a value between ‑999 and 999. WaveThe Wave filter creates an undulating pattern on a layer or selection. Apply the Wave filter
ZigZag
The ZigZag filter distorts a selection radially, depending on the radius of the pixels in your selection. Apply the ZigZag filter
