•

For Twirl Rate, enter a value between –180˚ to 180˚ to specify the rate at which the twirl 

is applied. The closer to an end range, the faster the object twirls. To twirl slowly, specify 
a rate close to 0˚.

•

For Horizontal and Vertical, enter a value to specify how far apart the control points are 

placed.

4

If available, select Brush Affects Anchor Points, Brush Affects In Tangent Handles, or 

Brush Affects Out Tangent Handles if you want the brush to make changes to these 
properties.

5

Select Show Brush Size to see the size of the brush as you use the tool on the artboard.

Modifying shapes with filters and effects

Illustrator provides a variety of filters and effects for changing an object’s shape and path 
direction. Using these commands as filters alters the original object’s shape, whereas 
applying them as effects just changes the appearance of the object without altering the 
underlying structure of the object. For more information, see 

“Using effects” on page 235

.

Comparison between filters and effects 

A.

 Original object

B.

 With Roughen filter applied in Preview and Outline views

C.

 With Roughen 

effect applied in Preview and Outline views

Note:

 All of the following filters work with vector graphics only; you cannot use these 

filters with raster images.

Distorting with the Free Distort command

The Free Distort command lets you change the shape of a selection by dragging any of 
four corner points.

You can apply the Free Distort command as a filter or as an effect. (See 

“Using effects” on 

page 235

.)

To apply the Free Distort command:

1

Do one of the following:

•

To apply the command as a filter, select an object. Then choose Filter > Distort > Free 

Distort. 

•

To apply the command as an effect, select an object or group in the artwork, or target a 

group or layer in the Layers palette. (For more information on targeting, see 

“Changing 

the appearance of artwork using the Layers palette” on page 223

.) Then choose Effect > 

Distort & Transform > Free Distort. 

2

Select Preview to preview the effect within the dialog box.
