To: Use:
Control the total number of ripples that can be generated. For
example, set Max Ridges to 5 to create 5 rings of distortion; the
area inside and outside of the rings are unaffected. Max Ridges
Set the distance between the ripples and the center. Animate the
spread to create continuous rippling of the image. Spread
Control how the ripple amplitude is decreased over distance. Damping
■
Use None so all the waves have the same amplitude specified
by the amplitude parameter.
■
Use Linear so the amplitude of the waves at the center has
the specified amplitude and decrease linearly to 0 at the image
extremities.
■
Use Quadratic so the amplitude of the waves at the center
has the specified amplitude and decrease quadratically to 0
at the image extremities.
Twirl Tool
The Twirl tool lets you spin, twirl and rotate the image.
Original image
The Twirl tool has the following parameters:
To: Use:
Control the severity of the twirl. Positive twirls the image clock-
wise. Negative values spin the image counter-clockwise. The twirl Amount
