Horizontal/Vertical Blocks The number of blocks in each row and column.
Sharp Colors Gives each tile the color of the pixel in the center of the corresponding region in the original image. Otherwise, each tile is given the
average color of the corresponding region in the original image.
Motion Tile effect
The Motion Tile effect replicates the source image across the output image. When you change the placement of the tiles, it uses motion blur to
accentuate the movement if motion blur is enabled.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
Carl Larsen provides a tutorial on the Creative COW website that shows how to use the Motion Tile effect to create a whip-pan transition between
two layers.
Tile Center The center of the main tile.
Tile Width, Tile Height Dimensions of tiles as a percentage of the input layer dimensions.
Output Width, Output Height Dimensions of the output image as a percentage of the input layer dimensions.
Mirror Edges Flips adjacent tiles to form mirror images. If Phase is set to 0, selecting this option causes the edges of the layer to be mirrored with
the surrounding tiles.
Phase The horizontal or vertical offset of the tiles.
Horizontal Phase Shift Offsets tiles horizontally instead of vertically.
Posterize effect
The Posterize effect posterizes colors; the number of colors is reduced and gradual color transitions are replaced by abrupt color transitions. You
specify the number of tonal levels (or brightness values) for each channel in an image. The Posterize effect then maps pixels to the closest
matching level. For example, choosing two tonal levels in an RGB image gives you two tones for red, two tones for green, and two tones for blue.
Values range from 2 to 255.
Level The number of tonal levels for each channel.
This effect works with 8-bpc, 16-bpc, and 32-bpc color.

Roughen Edges effect
The Roughen Edges effect makes an alpha channel rough and can add color to simulate rust and other kinds of corrosion. This effect gives
rasterized text or graphics a naturally rough look, like the look of old typewriter text.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.
