How to work with Displace filter

31) How to work with Displace filter.

Uses an image, called a displacement map, to determine how to distort a selection. For example, by using a parabola-shaped displacement map, you can create an image that appears to be printed on a cloth held at its corners.

Step 1

Choose Filter > Distort > Displace. Enter the scale for the magnitude of the displacement. When the horizontal and vertical scales are set to 100%, the greatest displacement is 128 pixels (because middle gray produces no displacement). If the displacement map is not in the same size as the selection, choose how the map will fit the image: Stretch to Fit to resize the map, or Tile to fill the selection by repeating the map in a pattern. Choose Wrap Around or Repeat Edge Pixels to determine how undistorted areas of the image will be treated. Then click OK.

Step 2

Select and open the displacement map. The distortion is applied to the image.
